In this work, we provide estimates of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) adoption and its effects on the COVID-19 disease transmission across province Ontario, Canada, in 2020. Using freely available data, estimate perceived risks infection a personal discomfort with complying NPIs for Ontarians 34 public health units. With use game theory, model time series decision making processes each region to extract an level from March December conjunction susceptible-exposed-recovered-isolated...
In this work, we employ a data-fitted compartmental model to visualize the progression and behavioral response COVID-19 that match provincial case data in Ontario, Canada from February June of 2020. This is "rear-view mirror" glance at how region has responded 1st wave pandemic, when testing was sparse NPI measures were only remedy stave off pandemic. We use an SEIR-type with age-stratified subpopulations their corresponding contact rates asymptomatic order incorporate heterogeneity our...
Abstract Introduction Improving the delivery of existing evidence‐based interventions to prevent and diagnose HIV is key Ending Epidemic in United States. Structural barriers access related health services require municipal or state‐level policy changes; however, suboptimal implementation can be addressed directly through designed improve reach, effectiveness, adoption maintenance available interventions. Our objective was estimate cost‐effectiveness potential epidemiological impact six...
Abstract In this work we present an analysis of non-pharmaceutical interventions implemented around the world in fight against COVID-19: Social distancing, shelter-in-place, mask wearing, etc measures to protect susceptible, together with, various degrees, testing & contact-tracing identify, isolate and treat infected. The majority countries have relied on former, while ramping up their tracing capabilities. We consider examples South Korea, Italy, Canada United States. By fitting a...
Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) were implemented all around the world in fight against COVID-19: Social distancing, shelter-in-place, mask wearing, etc. to mitigate transmission, together with testing and contact-tracing identify, isolate treat infected. The majority of countries have relied on former measures, followed by a ramping up their tracing capabilities. We present here cases South Korea, Italy, Canada United States, as look back lessons that can be drawn for controlling...
The US Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) initiative aims to reduce national incidence 90% by 2030 and address disproportionate burden of among different racial/ethnic populations. Florida's state-wide 2022-2026 Integrated Prevention Care Plan outlines objectives for reaching EHE goals. In Miami-Dade County, we determined epidemiological impact achieving integrated plan's individually jointly. We adapted an transmission model calibrated County adjusting access testing, pre-exposure prophylaxis...
