Effect of household dynamics on risk of disease associated with household contact

2001-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Household contact is known to be a risk factor for transmission of many infections, and the magnitude of such contact-associated risk is a classic measure of transmissibility. The risk associated with household contact may be underestimated due to misclassification of contact status of some individuals, particularly in cohort studies of diseases with long incubation period. Such studies generally begin with contac...
