<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Module summary</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This module concentrates on how to select appropriate health outcomes and health indicators to measure in a health survey. The module first focuses on logic models, an important tool used to conceptualize relationships between determinants or between health program activities and outcomes. We will review concepts related to indicators including the anatomy of an indicator before discussing the attributes of good indicators, as well as how to select appropriate indicators. We’ll end by discussing common challenges in indicator selection. <o:p></o:p></p>
