In the Excel worksheet called “Setting” you will describe key features of the area served by the planned intervention. This includes population parameters such as birth rates and life expectancies, and health services parameters such as the percentage of pregnant women who reach clinics for antenatal care. The variables presented here will also determine the size of the cohort that will receive each of the MTCT interventions that you will be asked to specify in subsequent sections.
