ABOUT PSI RESEARCH & METRICS  

A PSI core value is "results and a strong focus on measurement." The opening line of PSI's mission statement is "to measurably improve the health of poor and vulnerable people in the developing world." PSI believes in measurement because we believe evidence-based decision making is the best way to improve the performance of our interventions. What matters is what works.

Welcome to PSI Research & Metrics, PSI's initiative for evidence-based decision making. We work to improve PSI intervention performance in terms of:

1.  Influencing health related behavior of vulnerable populations

2.  Increasing socio-economic equity in the practice of risk reducing and treatment behaviors

3.  Increasing the health impact of interventions in terms of disability-adjusted life years averted

4. Improving intervention cost-effectiveness, and efficiency in terms of cost per product or service delivered

Interested in how we measure? PSI Research & Metrics operates on an open source basis. We work daily to make our ideas, lessons, and training materials from our newest initiative called FoQus, to our TRaC surveys and our primary decision making tool, the Dashboard, available for your use, distribution and modification. Do you have questions or ideas on how to make us better? Contact us at research@psi.org
