Choosing an appropriate model

Instructor Note

The focus of this tutorial is understanding existing models to decide if they are appropriate for a defined question.

In this tutorial different types of intervention and how they can be modelled are introduced. Learners should be able to understand the underlying mechanism of these interventions (e.g. reduce contact rate) as well as how to implement the code to include such interventions.

Comparing public health outcomes of interventions

Instructor Note

In this tutorial we introduce the concept of the counter factual and how to compare scenarios (counter factual versus intervention) against each other.
