Differences between DMPs, in terms of (combinations of) interventions, organisational factors, context, and degree of implementation are assessed to estimate their independent contribution to programme results.
The authors say that more research into different combinations of interventions would provide further insights into their individual effects and the best way of delivering them.
In spatially explicit decision problems where it is difficult to choose appropriate combinations of interventions, the proposed integration of a BBN with GIS helped to facilitate shared understanding of the human landscape relationships, while fostering collective management that can be incorporated into landscape planning processes.
Smith et al. (2013) found combinations of interventions applied pre-harvest and throughout processing resulted in larger relative E. coli risk reductions.
In many cases, the lessons learned illustrated the diversity in how businesses are engaging in development through commercial and philanthropic interventions, with most leading companies using a different combinations of interventions at the same time.
It is worth adding that although this appeal to combinations of interventions may seem artificial, it maps on to standard experimental procedures in an intuitive way.
Considerations of space preclude detailed description, but one strategy that has been explored is to appeal to what will happen to the effect under combinations of interventions that both affect the cause and that fix certain other variables to specific values.
Many questions are left unanswered: Which combinations of interventions (which we refer to as strategies) best controls illness, death, and societal disruption on a community scale?
To achieve the large reductions in attack rates for R0 values of 2.0 and 2.5, combinations of interventions needed to operate for unfeasibly long periods of time (greater than 5 months).
Different combinations of interventions.
Different combinations of interventions can yield essentially equivalent results, as in Figure 4.
