Indicator | Definition |
---|---|
Dependent variable | |
Stockout | The existence of any zero-stock event in one or multiple vaccination session in a vaccine-facility-month. |
Independent variables | |
Intervention pre/post | Each observation is tagged as occurring either pre- or post-intervention roll-out. |
Type of vaccine | Each observation involves a single vaccine commodity- (e.g. BCG vaccine)- known as a ‘Material’- thus vaccine-specific analyses and comparisons are possible. |
Tenure using digital system | Each post-intervention stock event is tagged not only with the date of the transaction, but also the # immunization-days passed between intervention roll-out and that specific transaction. Thus analyses looking at improvements over time since roll-out are possible. |
