Journal Club 1: High-Burden High-Impact Modeling: Nigeria Case Study
Application of mathematical modelling to inform national malaria intervention planning in Nigeria
Context: In this week you have learned how the EMOD building blocks come together in a series of simulation experiments and scenarios across parameter sweeps. One of the most complex yet practical experiment setup can be found in modeling intervention impact in countries.
Please read the journal club paper on such an application of modeling in Nigeria and come prepared to discuss your thoughts
Leader:
Learning Objectives
- Discuss a practical use case that demonstrates how EMOD building blocks and simulation steps come together to address a common question in malaria intervention planning
- Understand types of questions that malaria models can be used to answer
