Sierra Leone. The majority of this burden is concentrated in the developing world, including sub-Saharan Africa. In Sierra Leone, the under-five mortality rate is 120 deaths per 1,000 live births.3 Primary causes of deaths are neonatal preterm birth, respiratory infections, and diarrheal diseases.5,6 Although under-five deaths have decreased recently, neonatal deaths (0-27 days) have not decreased as quickly, and now constitute 45% of under-five deaths.5 Women’s access to prenatal care and delivery with a skilled birth attendant are associated with these neonatal deaths, although variation in study results suggests that quality of care and local context are important factors in the relationship between access to care and mortality.7,8 Evidence on causes of death and contributing factors is limited in developing countries such as Sierra Leone. Measuring cause of death and factors that contribute to specific deaths is difficult due to limited civil vital registration systems, lack of mortality review processes, and poor healthcare infrastructure. Many of the statistics available come from data sources with limitations (such as verbal autopsy) or from small-scale research studies.9

Sierra Leone. During the Ebola outbreak in 2014, EBS was implemented in 9 of the 14 districts in Sierra Leone to strengthen the country’s Ebola surveillance and response capabilities. International Rescue Committee (IRC), the Sierra Leone-Bo District Health Management Team (DHMT), and CDC came together to develop the Community Events-Based Surveillance system (CEBS) (MMWR, 2015). The purpose of CEBS was to supplement case finding and contact tracing (MMWR, 2015). Community health monitors (volunteers from the community) comprised of teachers, farmers, and other knowledgeable community members were trained to detect and report on six trigger events: two or more household members become sick or die within a short period of time, anyone becomes sick or dies within three weeks of taking part in an unsafe burial or washing/touching a corpse, any healthcare worker or traditional healer becomes sick or dies of an unknown cause, any traveler becomes sick or dies, anyone who was a contact of a suspect Ebola virus disease (EVD) becomes sick or dies, and any unsafe burial or washing of a dead body that took place in the village or surrounding community (this trigger would alert the surveillance team that there might be cases in the near future) (Stone, 2016). Community health monitors, who were not given any incentives or compensation for their work, immediately reported any of the trigger events to the Community Surveillance Supervisor through use of mobile phones given to them by the CEBS management team. (Jia, 2015). Age, sex, name and location of the suspect or deceased case were recorded in a logbook (Stone, 2016). The Community Surveillance Supervisor along with a clinically trained MoH staff conducted a preliminary screening of the alert and determined whether District Ebola Response Center was needed to conduct a formal investigation (MMWR, 2015). Assessment of CEBS found that it effectively generated alerts and detected nearly one third of all known EVD cases in the districts where CEBS was implemented (Ratnayake, 2016). Additionally, three measles outbreaks were detected through CEBS. One disadvantage seen by CEBS was that the triggers favored deaths over live alerts. Community health monitors, on average, recalled three out of the six triggers and the most commonly remembered triggers were ones involving a death. More than half of the events reported by community health monitors were deaths, most of which were not linked to EVD (Stone, 2016). The lack of sensitivity to ...
