Classical method
of Net change measurement: Net change = percentage of change in the intervention community minus percentage of change in the reference community Io = Initial value of the outcome in intervention community I1= Final value of the outcome in intervention community R0 = Initial value of the outcome in the reference community R1 = Final value of the outcome in the reference community FORMULAE a) {(I1 – I0) / I0} - {(R1 – R0) / R0} = ( I1 / I0) - ( R1 / R0) b) {(I1 – R0) / I0 X R1} – 1 (Direct confidence interval estimations). c) {(I1 – I0 – R1) / R0 } + 1 (When reference population is considered as base level) |
