Effect of awareness programs by media on the epidemic outbreaks: A mathematical model
Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The model analysis reveals that the rate of executing awareness programs has a substantial effect over the system and sustained oscillation may arise with increasing its value above a threshold, which poses a challenge to control the epidemic.About:

Behavioural change models for infectious disease transmission: a systematic review (2010-2015).
TL;DR: It is concluded that individual-level models are increasingly used and useful to model behaviour changes, despite recent advancements, that most models are purely theoretical and lack representative data and a validation process.

Coevolution spreading in complex networks.
TL;DR: This review introduces recent progress in the study of coevolution spreading dynamics, emphasizing the contributions from the perspectives of statistical mechanics and network science.

Influence of Social Media Platforms on Public Health Protection Against the COVID-19 Pandemic via the Mediating Effects of Public Health Awareness and Behavioral Changes: Integrated Model.
TL;DR: The main findings revealed that the use of social media platforms had a significant positive influence on public health protection against COVID-19 as a pandemic and more research is needed to validate how social media channels can be used to improve health knowledge and adopted healthy behaviors in a cross-cultural context.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Media Reports on Disease Spread and Important Public Health Measurements
TL;DR: A stochastic agent based model is employed to provide a quantification of mass media reports on the variability in important public health measurements and it is found that the report rate and the rate at which individuals relax their healthy behaviours (media fatigue) greatly affect the variability of these measurements.

Awareness programs control infectious disease - Multiple delay induced mathematical model
David G. Greenhalgh,Sourav Rana,Sudip Samanta,Tridip Sardar,Sabyasachi Bhattacharya,Joydev Chattopadhyay +5 more
TL;DR: A mathematical model is proposed and analyzed to study the impact of awareness programs on an infectious disease outbreak and shows that under certain conditions on the parameters, the system is permanent.

Mathematical Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases: Model Building, Analysis and Interpretation
Odo Diekmann,J.A.P. Heesterbeek +1 more
TL;DR: The Basic Reproduction Ratio (RBR) as mentioned in this paper is a variant of the Kermack-McKendrick ODE model, and it has been used to model population dynamics at the Demographic Time Scale.

Meta-analysis of the relationship between risk perception and health behavior: the example of vaccination.
Noel T. Brewer,Gretchen B. Chapman,Frederick X. Gibbons,Meg Gerrard,Kevin D. McCaul,Neil D. Weinstein +5 more
TL;DR: The consistent relationships between risk perceptions and behavior, larger than suggested by prior meta-analyses, suggest that risk perceptions are rightly placed as core concepts in theories of health behavior.

Public perceptions, anxiety, and behaviour change in relation to the swine flu outbreak: cross sectional telephone survey
TL;DR: The results support efforts to inform the public about specific actions that can reduce the risks from swine flu and to communicate about the government’s plans and resources.
