Title: Key data for outbreak evaluation: building on the Ebola experience Document date: 2017_5_26
ID: 12t247bn_95
Snippet: Some of the data we have suggested to be collected during outbreaks may not be obviously useful at the field or case management level, e.g. detailed demographic characteristics of cases and contacts. Collecting such data costs money and time as well as trained personnel. These three 'resources' are limited and, during an epidemic, should be prioritized where their need is greatest.

Document: Some of the data we have suggested to be collected during outbreaks may not be obviously useful at the field or case management level, e.g. detailed demographic characteristics of cases and contacts. Collecting such data costs money and time as well as trained personnel. These three 'resources' are limited and, during an epidemic, should be prioritized where their need is greatest. However, from a population perspective, collecting these data may help quantify epidemic impact, assist in the design and evaluation of interventions, and help prevent new infections. Further studies might examine how to appropriately balance these two considerations.
