Description
Trachoma, an eye infection that can blind, is being pushed toward elimination, and knowing where it lingers takes careful surveys. Emma Harding-Esch and a very large team of co-authors describe Tropical Data, a service that helps health ministries run those surveys to one global standard. Support spans the whole job: planning, design, training, phone-based data capture in the field, and analysis.
The service rests on three principles: the ministry owns the work, partners collaborate, and quality is checked at every step. Methods bend to local needs, and surveys can fold in other diseases or research questions as they go. The paper lays out the approach so other survey programs can copy it.
