OpportunityTitle: Combining Subjective and Objective Methods for Quantifying Contact Rates and Mixing Pattern in School-Aged Children
Description: The purpose of this funding is to facilitate research that describes individual social contact and mixing patterns in school-aged children across a range of community settings to improve the precision of contact rate estimation and parameterization for infectious disease transmission models to support the development of disease prevention and control strategies. The objectives of these studies are to quantify age-specific individual social contact and mixing patterns of school-aged children as they migrate within and across a range of community settings (schools, home, dormitories, community) using both previously established and newer methods of assessment.
