Evaluation of the HARSP and three comparison scenarios for rabies prevention under the same baseline conditions, Pétionville, Carrefour, and Croix-des-Bouquets communes, West Department, Haiti, 2014–2015

Scenario	Description
NBCM	Rabies prevention and control corresponds to the situation before HARSP was implemented, that is, passive surveillance, limited diagnostic capabilities, few trained health-care workers, and NBCM (i.e., treatment of dog bite victims that report to the health system as suspected rabies exposures).
HARSP	HARSP is a community-based animal rabies surveillance program with two components: active community bite investigation and passive animal rabies investigation. It includes updating laboratory and rabies surveillance capabilities.
HARSPr*	Activities related to rabies surveillance, rabies diagnostics, dog investigations, and treatment of suspected rabies exposures correspond to the best possible implementation of the HARSP program, strictly adhering to suggested guidelines and recommendations for the program.
WHOr*	Activities related to rabies surveillance, rabies diagnostics, dog investigations, and treatment of suspected rabies exposures correspond to the situation in Haiti NBCM, but all bite victims that seek medical treatment receive PEP according to WHO guidelines and recommendations for rabies treatment.

HARSP = Haiti Animal Rabies Surveillance Program; HARSPs = HARSP recommended; NBCM = no bite case management; PEP = postexposure prophylaxis; WHO = World Health Organization; WHOr = WHO recommended.

^*Scenarios HARSPr and WHOr represent the potential for improvement, if guidelines and recommendations were strictly followed, of HARSP and NBCM (no HARSP).
