7. Key messages Future training on routine data quality
WHO and TEAM recommendations
SMART vs DHS/MICS
The focus was surveys but some of the tests can be applied to other types of data
Statistical tests are important but we also need to look at the reports and the methodology emploed
The importance of good quality data and the fact that in this training we work with already existing and collected data. We want to assess its quality but we cannot change it. A future training on routine data quality will be developed by NIPN in the future
The Recommendations for improving the quality of anthropometric data collection, analysis and reporting from Working Group on Anthropometric Data Quality for the echnical Expert Advisory Group on Nutrition Monitoring (TEAM) is the latest available document. Share it.
SMART was designed for small scale surveys in emergency situation to estimate to load of children to be admitted in nutrition centres. For that purpose it is very important to have very precise and accurate estimates. For DHS and MICS the focus is not so much on nutrition and the main purpose is to have a global picture of the situation every 3-5 years.

8. Key messages cont… Always use graphical and tabular representation
Is the survey representative of the population?
No agreements and standards
Other approaches still need more testing
There is no good or bad quality but how is the quality for me to make a decision on a specific topic?
