SUMMARY:Agent-based modelling for public health
DESCRIPTION:Background\nAgent-Based Modelling (ABM) and simulation have been used in public health for some years now. However, we have observed a major increase in the development, applications, use and contributions of ABM in public health during the pandemic. ABM has been widely used in modelling disease transmission at various scales (local, regional and national), and settings (i.e. public transit, mass gathering, hospitals and long term care facilities), assessment of public health measures, vaccine uptake, individuals’ behaviour towards public health measures, public health information dissemination and propagation and public health logistics. Simultaneously, hardware and software technologies that enable the development and use of ABM have been advancing and thus helping the development of more detailed ABM with a large agent population even more possible. The use of ABM in public health is not free of its challenges theoretical, technical, data, validity and calibration challenges.\nGoals\nThe main goals of the Agent-Based Modelling for Public Health speaker series are:\n\nKnowledge sharing among the ABM modelling community and public health experts;\n\n\nLearning about advances in ABM in public health;\n\n\nExchanging best practices and lessons learned in the development and use of ABM in public health during the COVID-19 era; and\n\n\nBuilding and strengthening the ABM modelling and user networks.\n\nTarget Audiences\n\nMathematics for Public Health Network researchers\nPublic health professionals and decision-makers interested in and using ABM\nGraduate and undergraduate students\nAgent-based modelling community interested in public health\n\n
