课程简介

课程名称:评估中的影响测量与建模 概述:本课程“评估中的影响测量与建模”旨在帮助学员更好地理解在母婴健康和营养领域中评估项目时可以使用的不同影响测量方法。课程将讨论每种测量方法的当前数据来源,并描述用于测量这些指标的具体方法,同时识别这些方法的优缺点及其在评估中的适用性。此外,课程还探讨了建模在评估中的作用,既可以替代影响测量,也可以对测量结果进行补充。最后两节课将为学员介绍如何使用Lives Saved Tool(LiST)工具,该模型可以估算课程中描述的大多数影响测量,对大型项目的规划和影响评估至关重要。虽然本课程是独立的,但也与其他评估课程相关联。课程针对公共卫生项目经理和评估人员,适合具有公共卫生背景,专注于低收入和中等收入国家的母婴健康领域的学员。该课程的开发得到了加拿大政府事务部(GAC)为现实问责、结果的数据分析(RADAR)项目提供的资助。 课程大纲: 1. **部分1:儿童死亡率的测量与建模** - 本模块介绍与儿童死亡相关的主要指标,这些指标可用作影响测量。我们描述这些指标的常见来源以及用于测量或建模这些指标的方法。 2. **部分2:其他影响测量** - 本模块回顾其他类别的影响测量,包括发病率、项目的长期后果和出生结果。我们审查每种额外影响测量类别的主要指标、指标的可能来源以及收集这些指标的快速概述。 3. **部分3:影响建模** - 本模块介绍Lives Saved Tool(LiST),这是一个可以用于建模母婴、儿童健康和营养影响的数学建模工具。我们复习基本概念、数据来源,并讲解软件的工作原理。 4. **部分4:LiST中的专题讨论** - 本模块讨论LiST中的具体主题,包括营养如何在LiST中建模、母婴死亡率如何在LiST中建模,以及LiST如何处理子国家层面的建模。最后,我们回顾一些与LiST相关的其他工具。

课程大纲

Part: 1

Title:Measuring and Modelling Mortality in Children

Description:This module will introduce you to the major indicators related to deaths among children that could be used as a measure of impact. For each of these indicators we describe common sources of these indicators as well as methods used to measure or model these indicators .

Part: 2

Title:Other Impact Measures

Description:In this module we review other categories of possible impact measures, including morbidity, long-term consequences of programs and birth outcomes. For each category of additional impact measures we review the major indicators, possible sources of these indicators as well a a quick overview of methods that could be used to collect them.

Part: 3

Title:Modeling Impact

Description:In this module, we introduce the Lives Saved Tool (LiST) which is a mathematical modeling tool that can be used to model the impact of maternal, newborn, child health and nutrition. We review basic concepts, data sources, and review how the software itself works as well.

Part: 4

Title:Topics In LiST

Description:In this module, we discuss specific topics in LiST including how nutrition is modelled in LiST, how maternal and child mortality are modelled in LiST, and how subnational modelling is handled in LiST. We conclude by reviewing some additional tools that are relevant to LiST.

We want to provide you some information about our course “Measuring and Modeling Impact in evaluations”. The purpose of this course is to give you a better understanding of different measures of impact that could be used in the evaluation of a program in the areas of maternal and child health and nutrition. For each of the measures presented, we will discuss current sources of data you might draw on as well as describe the methods that can be used to measure these. When we describe the methods, we also try to identify the strengths and weakness of the methods as well as their suitably for use in an evaluation. The course also discusses how modeling can be used in evaluations as either a replacement for measuring impact or to supplement measured impact. The last two lessons in this course focus on giving you an introduction and training on how the Lives Saved Tool (LiST) works and how to use it. This model can be used to estimate most – if not all – of the impact measures we describe in the course and can be an important part of both planning and estimating impact in an evaluation of a large-scale program. While this course is self-contained, it is also linked to other courses on evaluation. We developed this course for public health program managers and evaluators and assume the students in the course will have a background in public health with a focus on maternal and child health in low- and middle-income countries. The development of this course was supported by a grant from Government Affairs Canada (GAC) for the Real Accountability, Data Analysis for Results (RADAR) project.
