Measuring and Maximizing Impact of COVID-19 Contact Tracing

This course aims to provide managers and developers of contact tracing programs guidance on the most important indicators of performance of a contact tracing program, and a tool that can be used to project the likely impact of improvements in specific indicators. Students who complete the course will be proficient in using the Contact Tracing Evaluation and Strategic Support Application (ConTESSA) to estimate the impact of their contact tracing program on transmission and strategizing about how to increase their program’s impact. A secondary audience for the course will be decision makers interested in knowing more about the characteristics of effective contact tracing programs, and strategies to improve. The course is designed for individuals who are already leading contact tracing programs who have significant experience with epidemiology and public health. We strongly recommend completing this course on a laptop or a desktop rather than a phone as you’ll need to complete worksheets and open the course and the application simultaneously.

Dear whom this concerns:Thank you for allowing me to join in once again for the managerial contact tracing course. However, as I reviewed the curriculm, I found that the course wasn't right for me.

The course was very informative. ConTESSA is a useful app that would make contact tracing effective. I am looking forward to using it in the future, if given the chance,

Course was kind of hard I had to put my thinking cap on when it came to the math part. You’ll definitely need pen and paper to answer some of the quiz question. The course was great

Complex and thought provoking. Implementing the strategies proposed will take time, money and patience. They deserve to succeed but will need decisive management.

This was a challenging, but interesting, course about how COVID-19 is charted and measured. It gave me an insight into the statistics that we hear and how they are determined.

The audio recording by Kyra have issues and some words are "inaudible" in the transcript. This means those video by Kyra are more difficult to understand what she is saying in addition to her accent.

I found the information to be challenging but the instructors were great. It did take a few review times to master the material but I think it made for a stronger working knowledge in the end.

The way they explain each module was really clear. Keep it up! And just a little more further explanation for the module about assumptions and advanced options. That's all ^_^ Thank you very much.

The course was informative but difficult. I could not save the .yaml files directly and had to find a way to get to them when I needed to reload them. It was not easy.
