Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Enrollment goal reached, assessed using a target of 500 participants - consented parents and at least one participant encounter between 01/01/2018 and 31/12/2020 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Failure to enrol rate, assessed using an image quality cutoff score and defined as no fingers with images of quality equal to or greater than this threshold from any image taken at time of encounter 2. Detection error tradeoff, assessed using standard methods for calculation of true positive and negative versus false positive and negative rates to determine thresholds optimizing sensitivity and specificity using data calculated after session encounters 3. Identification rates assessed using comprehensive match characteristics method ranking an individual match across many participants at 0-720 days time between enrollment and identification | — |
