Study protocol for estimating modern US social contact patterns: the ENGAGED study

2026-01-11

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background:</h4> Accurately capturing social contact data is essential for developing effective mathematical models to forecast disease trends and evaluate interventions. There are limited population-based data of social contacts in the United States (US) which limits our ability to accurately model infectious disease transmission. <h4>Methods:</h4> To fill in this gap, we conducted a staggered longitudinal...
