This course comprises three modules that cover measuring impact indicators, using an interactive tool for estimation, and strategizing to enhance contact tracing program impact.
Welcome to Measuring and Maximizing Impact of COVID-19 Contact Tracing. In this module, participants will delve into the important indicators of performance in contact tracing programs, gain insights into the infectious period, reproductive number, surveillance, and completeness and timing of contact tracing and quarantine.
Participants will explore the Contact Tracing Evaluation and Strategic Support Application (ConTESSA) in this module. They will learn to utilize the tool to estimate program impact, entering surveillance and isolation data, and understand how to view the dashboard and generate a report to quantify the potential impact of testing and contact tracing strategies on reducing transmission.
This module focuses on examining strategies to increase the impact of contact tracing programs. Participants will compare programs using scenarios, understand the underlying assumptions, and explore advanced options to enhance the impact of their contact tracing programs.
