bestSDP - Burden Estimate of Common Communicable Diseases in Settlements
of Displaced Populations
Provides a practical tool for estimating the burden of
common communicable diseases in settlements of displaced
populations. An online version of the tool can be found at
<http://who-refugee-bod.ecdf.ed.ac.uk/shiny/app/>. Estimates of
burden of disease aim to synthesize data about cause-specific
morbidity and mortality through a systematic approach that
enables evidence-based decisions and comparisons across
settings. The focus of this tool is on four acute communicable
diseases and syndromes, including Acute respiratory infections,
Acute diarrheal diseases, Acute jaundice syndrome and Acute
febrile illnesses.
