The objective of the study was to present the findings of an audit tool aimed at assessing contact tracing activities during an Ebola outbreak.
The tool was based on Ebola guidelines and observations in the field. It was composed of 38 indicators covering contact tracing preparatives, resources, procedures and results.
All contact tracing teams were assessed in Boké and Conakry prefectures (24 supervisors, 22 community workers, 442 contacts) between 1 July and 10 August 2015. Contact lists had less than a 40% accomplishment rate. 7% of the contacts were not seen by community workers or supervisors. 'No touch policy' was fully respected.
Audit checklist helped to systematically identify critical issues related to contact tracing.
本研究旨在呈现一种评估埃博拉疫情期间接触者追踪活动的审核工具的调查结果。
该工具基于埃博拉指南和实地观察。它由 38 项指标组成，涵盖接触者追踪的准备、资源、程序和结果。
2015 年 7 月 1 日至 8 月 10 日，在博凯和科纳克里省对所有接触者追踪小组（24 名监督员、22 名社区工作者、442 名接触者）进行了评估。接触者名单的完成率不到 40%。7%的接触者未被社区工作者或监督员见到。“不接触政策”得到了充分遵守。
审核清单有助于系统地确定与接触者追踪相关的关键问题。
