Mapping Outcomes to Stop Spillovers

STOP Spillover is a global consortium funded by USAID and led by Tufts that is working to understand and address the risks posed by known zoonotic viruses with the potential to spill over from animals and cause outbreaks, epidemics, and pandemics in humans.

STOP Spillover is using the Outcome Mapping approach to identify and prioritize potential high-risk spillover interfaces (places where viruses are likely to make the jump from animals to humans), the critical partners around those interfaces, and relevant behavioural-change outcomes that are likely to decrease the risk of spillover.

This article describes the program's use of Outcome Mapping.
