Thus, we examined alternate approaches to overcome the detrimental effects of this cytokine cascade, with a view to identifying an intervention that was appropriate for use in resource-poor countries and that, given the urgent clinical need, might be rapidly available for clinical use.
Identifying an intervention option (step 5) took a short time, from meeting 12 to meeting 18.
Unlike MCOpt, MCEval does not seek to identify an intervention set reflecting decisions on enzyme activity modification.

Proponents of ToC often advocate the use of logic models in this process, as a means of identifying an intervention's inputs and activities and its intended outcomes [ 39].
