Journal ArticleDOI
The Timing and Nature of Behavioural Responses Affect the Course of an Epidemic
TL;DR: A differential equation model is developed that couples SIR-type disease dynamics with opinion dynamics and observes how the severity of an epidemic is influenced by the distribution of opinions at disease introduction, the relative rates of opinion and disease dynamics, and the amount of opinion amplification.

TL;DR: The Agent-based Pathogen Kinetics model simulates the PWID population in metropolitan Chicago, including the social interactions that result in HCV infection, and can serve as a tool for guiding intervention and prevention strategies in Chicago, and other major cities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oscillations and hysteresis in an epidemic model with information-dependent imperfect vaccination
TL;DR: The proposed model presents both the possibility of backward bifurcation and that of oscillations triggered by behavioral memory, and a forward hysteresis scenario may take place where multiple endemic states are possible when the basic reproduction number P 0 is greater than one.

Pathways through which higher neighborhood crime is longitudinally associated with greater body mass index
Andrea S. Richardson,Wendy M. Troxel,Madhumita Ghosh-Dastidar,Gerald P. Hunter,Robin L. Beckman,Natalie Colabianchi,Rebecca L. Collins,Tamara Dubowitz +7 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest decrements in perceived safety and physical activity are important processes that might explain why neighborhood crime is associated with greater BMI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of an edge-based SEIR model for sexually transmitted diseases.
TL;DR: It is shown that the length of the latent period has an effect on arrival time and size of disease peak, but does not affect the final epidemic size and the basic reproduction number of the disease.
