Social contact patterns across levels of deprivation in England, and implications for infectious disease transmission

2026-08-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Infectious disease burden is unequally distributed in populations, and is often associated with local-level deprivation. Social contact patterns affect individual level risk as well as population-level dynamics of infections. The role of differences in social contact patterns in contributing to infectious disease inequalities remains poorly understood. This data gap has previously limited the...
