Individual adherence to mass drug administration in neglected tropical disease control: a probability model conditional on past behaviour

2020-04-22

Abstract excerpt

We present a general framework which describes the systematic (binary) scenario of individuals either taking treatment or not for any reason, over the course of mass drug administration (MDA) — which we refer to as ‘adherence’ and ‘non-adherence’. The probability models developed can be informed by observed adherence behaviour as well as employed to explore how different patterns influence the impact of MDA progra...
