摘要：Background Integrated community case management (iCCM) has been recommended by the World Health Organization to reduce mor- tality among children in populations with limited access to facility– based health care providers.Although many countries have intro- duced iCCM, interpretation of the impact is difficult due to many other activities occurring in the community.This paper suggests a method for using the Lives Saved Tool to model the independent im- pact of iCCM on child mortality.Model The Lives Saved Tool (LiST) is a multi–cause model of mor- tality which allows users to look at the potential impacts of one or many interventions on one or many causes of death without double counting their impact.LiST uses changes in intervention coverage and cause–specific effectiveness estimates on mortality and risk fac- tors to model overall changes in mortality as well as to attribute mor- tality reduction to specific interventions.Collecting data on the source of the care seeking behaviors is critical to being able to model and interpret the changes observed.
