Scenario: Decision-making with data
To prepare for watching the next video, please consider the following scenarios and questions:
Decision-making scenario 1
Think for a minute about how data can be used to make some key decisions. Think about your own work or educational context and an area you know well. The first decision I would like you to think about is: How many campaigns you would do? Where they should be?
Let’s assume that there’s some polio circulating in the area. What kind of data would you need to know the number of vaccination campaigns you need and the geographic spread they should have?
Please share your thoughts to these questions in the discussion.
Decision-making scenario 2
Think about the same context you considered in “Decision-making scenario 1”. Consider the following questions:
What should your social mobilization strategy be to encourage parents to accept the polio vaccine? What data you would need to make this decision?
In the discussion, reply to your own post with your responses to Scenario 1 with your responses for Scenario 2.
