Principles for CYP Conversion Factor Development, USAID 2011 • • • Seen only as an update Keep simple for calculations Strive for uniformity across countries etc. Base on most realistic programmatic data Meaningfully related to unintended pregnancies averted, (but not actual measurement of unintended pregnancies averted. ) • Recognize these are only approximations – avoid false precision • Recognize “intangibles” exist (e. g. dual method use, extended effectiveness of injectables) • Kind of a “coverage” indicator – level playing field of credit
Other objectives not addressed by CYP • Quality - including choice • Continuation • Actual impact on unintended pregnancy
