Dear Gudrun,

You cannot change the recall period in the mortality (Death Rates) tab. Go to the Planning tab and type in the length of your recall period in the “Recall period in days” box under Sample size calculation for a death rate survey. You should then automatically see the updated number in the Death Rates tab.

FYI the Survey Protocol button will generate an automated template that includes actual data from your Planning tab (i.e., if you type in 117 as your recall period in days, the generated document will reflect the updated number).

Cheers,
The SMART Team

Dear Sameh,

The objective of a Plausibility Check is to ensure that quality of data is sufficient to be used for planning interventions. The Plausibility Check is generated through ENA software (Data Entry Anthropometry tab).

Keep an eye out for the new Plausibility Check chapter of the SMART manual! In the meantime the following resources on the website will hopefully help you better understand the Plausibility Check:

Module 7 Plausibility Check for Anthropometry
Complementary Tools and Resources> Download Handouts (Ensuring Data Quality_Michael Golden)

Hi Gudrun,

Thanks for your message and your keen eye! There are a few extra variables in the Excel output that are not of interest to most users, and should normally be disregarded.

(Height_Age_WHO is predicted age of child using entered height; MUAC Z-scores are under development).
