Briefing: Why models and longitudinal data on adherence to non-pharmaceutical interventions must come together
Strategic angle: An interdisciplinary team of authors from Canada, Austria, the U.S. and Germany has outlined how immuno-epidemiology and individual decision-making on non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) can be understood jointly in the future.
Recent discussions among researchers from multiple countries highlight the importance of integrating models with longitudinal data on adherence to non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs).
The collaboration aims to provide a comprehensive framework that combines immuno-epidemiological insights with individual decision-making processes related to NPIs.
This approach could enhance the understanding of how NPIs are adopted and maintained over time, potentially leading to more effective public health strategies.
