The coverage blue box allows you to change the coverage of your selected intervention. To do so, click on the cell corresponding to the year and intervention that you would like to select, and enter your new value into it.
If you would like to do a linear increase, you can select the row for your intervention of interest and select the years of interest either by clicking and dragging, or by selecting the first year, holding down the "Shift" key, and selecting your end year. You can then rick-click on the highlighted years and select "Interpolate", and the coverage values will be linearly interpolated between the two dates.
To see where the data comes from, you can right-click on an intervention and select "Data Source (row)". The data sources for that intervention will pop up.
This section describes the types of interventions which are available within LiST for modification. Each type is characterized by either the time in which the intervention is delivered (i.e., during pregnancy) or by the mode of activity (i.e., vaccines or curative). All items which fall under the categories of breastfeeding, preventive, vaccines, and curative occur after birth. Select any one of the types/time periods for more information on all interventions which are included.
To enter coverage data:
1.Click on the tab for the editor screen that you wish to work in, to bring that screen to the forefront.
2.Review the default values listed for each child health intervention for all years displayed.
3.Edit the coverage targets for future years past the first year of intervention manually if you have data you feel is more accurate than what is listed. If you would like to make this first projection a "do nothing" scenario (or a theoretical counterfactual for your intended coverage changes), where the intervention coverage is by default held constant from the first year of intervention, do not change the default values after the first year of intervention. Click "Ok" and save the projection through the "Home" tab of the Spectrum menu. Then, proceed to reviewing effectiveness values.
4.Edit the coverage values from the first year of intervention to the target year. By changing the target, you will be able to project the impact upon child survival in your country. Most often, users set a target for the final year of the projection (2015 in the case of the MDGs) and interpolate between the base year and the target year.
5.An easy way to change this coverage is to set the coverage in the target year and highlight from the first year of intervention to the target year. Then right click and scroll to "interpolate". There are four different interpolate options. Choose the one that best suits your data. Use the duplicate function if you would like several adjoining data boxes in a row or column to have the same value. |
