Efficacy

1.The efficacy editor groupings show the default values for the efficacy (the percent of deaths due to a specific cause that are reduced by the intervention) and affected fraction (the percent of deaths due to a specific cause which are potentially able to be impacted by a specific intervention) for each maternal or child health intervention. References for effectiveness data are included under each intervention in the Coverage section of the Help manual.  

2.The first four editor groupings (maternal, stillbirth, <1, and 1-59 months) have editor screens organized by cause of death, which display the default values by intervention and age grouping if applicable.

3.You may view only the interventions that affect the relevant cause of death (on the selected tab), which is the default presentation; or you may choose to display the full list of interventions (including those with no default effect on the relevant cause of death) by checking the box "Show all items."

4.If you would like to alter the default values for efficacy or affected fraction, click anywhere inside the editor to make it active and enter the data. Because the default values are based on rigorous scientific study and are unlikely to need alteration, the cell for any default value that you change will be highlighted in red to show that the value has been changed from the default value.

5.Click the "Display default" button if you would like to view the value for a cell that was entered in comparison to the default value. If at any time you decide that you would prefer to revert to the default values over the data that you have entered, click the "Restore defaults" button, and the default values for all indicators in the editor will be restored. The "Restore defaults" button works separately for each editor and will only restore the values in the editor you are working on.
