AB  - Rapid collection of data is of utmost importance in monitoring and evaluation of 
      activities of public health importance. Among others techniques, 30 by 7 cluster 
      sampling and Lot quality assurance sampling(LQAS) methods have been described in 
      literature for this purpose. However, LQAS is often sparingly used in most 
      settings, undermining its importance as a effective epidemiological tool in 
      public health practice. To some extent LQAS is inadequately understood and even 
      less emphasized method, especially in the postgraduate teaching and training. In 
      this paper we aim to explain the use, method and application of LQAS in public 
      health settings as well as discuss common pitfalls to avoid while planning and 
      drawing inferences based on data collected through LQAS.
