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.

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
I found much of this hard to understand. Watched all videos twice. I understand how to enter the data but struggled in the questions that asked to interpret the data.
thank you so much for this great course, my notes
1-can not open Contessa app to do the tests!
2- make the app for 1 case and the system generate the percentages
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.
