As a consequence, both the offline design and the online implementation are distributed and scalable.
The library implementation is distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL), and it is available at http://www.inf.kcl.ac.uk/research/projects/asmf/, which is set up for maintaining the source code and the man-page documentation.
The implementation is distributed and fully parallel; this allows simulating large populations of the order of millions of individuals in execution times of the order of tens of minutes.
implementations, are distributed as open source, and can be fetched from a web site (http://www.geb.uma.es/mauds), where a tutorial, examples, and a forum for MAUDS users are also available.
During the first 2 months of implementation, rations were distributed to all beneficiaries (FA and FA + RUSF groups) conditional on attendance at Food for Training sessions on hygiene-related themes.
In the post-implementation survey, 138 questionnaires were distributed (nurses = 110, doctors = 28) and 69 (50%) were returned; 58 (84%) from nurses and 11 (16%) from doctors.
All clinics in the study were using the same EHR and operating under the same system-level policies for MU implementation, including how incentive payments were distributed.
Questions related to implementation, such as how condoms were distributed, who distributed condoms, where they were distributed, duration of the program, types of social marketing, who delivered messages, additional services provided, etc., were beyond the scope of this review.
The "pre" implementation survey was distributed in December 2002 and the "post" implementation one in December 2004.
To be successful, it is important that the implementation efforts be distributed proportionally according to the importance of each of the risk factors.
