Table 12 Fur Baranga: GAM point estimates, 95% CIs, LQAS result, estimated time expenditure* and cost† required for data collection, by sampling design
From: Precision, time, and cost: a comparison of three sampling designs in an emergency setting
| Sampling design | GAM point estimate (95% CI) | GAM LQAS result | Team days required to collect data | Cost for data collection |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 33 × 6 design | 8.1 (3.6, 12.5) |
Fail to reject Ho at 10% GAM threshold. Conclude area requires intervention appropriate for 10% threshold level | 8.25 | $1232 |
| 67 × 3 design | 6.5 (3.0, 9.9) |
Reject Ho at 10% GAM threshold. Conclude area has <10% GAM prevalence | 11.17 | $1630 |
| 30 × 30 design | 8.6 (6.5, 10.8) | NA | 30.00 | $4606 |
