Description
Classic epidemiological models typically assume that, at a population level, infection is proportional to incidence of disease and the probability of contact between those infected and those susceptible. However, human behaviour can drastically change the contact and infectious pathways of diseases altering the types of outbreaks that models can predict. Additionally, the way that individuals interact and spread diseases can alter the structure of these models, further impacting the solution structure. This session will examine how the inclusion of behaviour and the dynamics of individuals can impact disease burden and case estimates epidemiological population models.
