  • Is population structure sufficient to generate area-level inequalities in influenza rates? An examination using agent-based models

    Open AccessSupriya Kumar, Kaitlin N Piper et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Differential exposure due to population structure in our realistic simulation model explains a third of the observed inequality. Differential susceptibility to disease due to prevailing chronic conditions, vaccine uptake, and smoking should be considered in future models in order to quantify the role of additional factors in generating influenza inequalities

  • A large-scale immuno-epidemiological simulation of influenza A epidemics

    Open AccessSarah Lukens, Jay V DePasse et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    We present a framework for multi-scale simulations of influenza epidemics that enables the study of population-level effects of individual differences in infections and symptoms, with minimal additional computational cost compared to the existing population-level simulations

  • FRED (A Framework for Reconstructing Epidemic Dynamics)

    Open AccessJohn J Grefenstette, Shawn T Brown et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    State and county public health planners can use FRED to explore the effects of possible influenza epidemics in specific geographic regions of interest and to help evaluate the effect of interventions such as vaccination programs and school closure policies. FRED is available under a free open source license in order to contribute to the development of better modeling tools and to encourage open discussion of modeling tools being used to evaluate …

  • Policies to Reduce Influenza in the Workplace

    Supriya Kumar, John J Grefenstette et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2013Citada por: 7Referências: 27

    Objectives. We examined the impact of access to paid sick days (PSDs) and stay-at-home behavior on the influenza attack rate in workplaces. Methods. We used an agent-based model of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, with PSD data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, standard influenza epidemic parameters, and the probability of staying home when ill. We compared the influenza attack rate among employees resulting from workplace transmission, focu…

  • School closure as an influenza mitigation strategy

    Open AccessMargaret A Potter, Shawn T Brown et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    This agent-based simulation suggests several ways to improve statutes and influenza plans. First, school closure should remain available to state and local authorities as an influenza mitigation strategy. Second, influenza plans need not necessarily specify the threshold for school closures but should clearly define provisions for early and ongoing local monitoring. Finally, school closure authority may be exercised at the statewide or local leve…

  • Would school closure for the 2009 H1N1 influenza epidemic have been worth the cost

    Open AccessShawn T Brown, Julie Tai-Schmiedel et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Our study suggests that closing schools during the 2009 H1N1 epidemic could have resulted in substantial costs to society as the potential costs of lost productivity and childcare could have far outweighed the cost savings in preventing influenza cases
