Epidemiology and surveillance online workshop (widely used until 2007 - for updated materials and tools see link below) This is a teaching tool developed to help national or sub-national TB programme managers, epidemiologists and statisticians analyse and interpret TB surveillance and survey data with a view to answer the following questions: 1) What is the burden of tuberculosis in my country? 2) What is the trend and the geographical variation in the burden of TB in my country? 3) How well is TB controlled in my country?
The tool uses explanatory text, PowerPoint presentations, exercises, examples and data templates. It was developed in 2004/2005 and widely used until 2007. Some of the materials presented in this virtual workshop make use of methods which are no longer recommended by WHO, such as surveys of the annual risk of infection to measure TB incidence.
