GiveWell spoke with Dr. Afshin, Ms. Lescinsky, and Ms. Mullany of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) as part of an effort to improve GiveWell's estimates of vitamin A deficiency (VAD) prevalence in areas where Helen Keller International (a GiveWell top charity) operates vitamin A supplementation (VAS) programs for preschool-aged children. Conversation topics included IHME's process for estimating the disease burden of VAD and planned changes to IHME's VAD modeling.
