emodpy_malaria.interventions.treatment_seeking module

emodpy_malaria.interventions.treatment_seeking.add_treatment_seeking(campaign, start_day: int = 1, targets: list = None, drug: list = None, node_ids: list = None, ind_property_restrictions: list = None, drug_ineligibility_duration: float = 0, duration: int = -1, broadcast_event_name: str = 'Received_Treatment')

Add an event-triggered drug-seeking behavior intervention to the campaign using the NodeLevelHealthTriggeredIV. The intervention will distribute drugs to targeted individuals within the node.

targets is a list of dictionaries defining the trigger event and coverage for and properties of individuals to target with the intervention with all possible options being: [{“trigger”:”NewClinicalCase”,”coverage”:0.8,”agemin”:15,”agemax”:70, “rate”:0.3}] “rate” is the inverse of the average delay in time to treatment seeking from an exponential distribution “trigger” must be defined, but everything else has defaults: coverage = 1, affects all agemin/agemax = 0/MAX_AGE_YEARS, affects all rate = 0, no delay, seek treatment immediately

Args:

campaign: object for building, modifying, and writing campaign configuration files. start_day: Start day of intervention. targets: List of dictionaries defining the trigger event and coverage for and

properties of individuals to target with the intervention. “trigger” must be defined, other defaults are as follows - “coverage”:1,”agemin”:0,”agemax”:1000, “rate”:0 (no delay)

Example:

[{"trigger":"NewClinicalCase","coverage":0.8,"agemin":15,"agemax":70, "rate":0.3}]

drug: List of drug(s) to administer from the drugs defined in config.

Default is ["Artemether","Lumefantrine"]

node_ids: The list of nodes to apply this intervention to (Node_List parameter). If not provided, set value of NodeSetAll. ind_property_restrictions: List of IndividualProperty key:value pairs that individuals must have to receive the intervention. For example,

["IndividualProperty1:PropertyValue1", "IndividualProperty2:PropertyValue2"].

drug_ineligibility_duration: number of days for which an individual will be ineligible for more drugs duration: duration from start_day until people will no longer seek drugs when sick.

Default is -1, meaning they will always seek drugs when sick

broadcast_event_name: Event to broadcast when successful health seeking behavior.

Default is “Received_Treatment”.

Returns:

None
