Causal Vaccine Effects on Binary Postinfection Outcomes.
The effects of vaccine on postinfection outcomes, such as disease, death, and secondary transmission to others, are important scientific and public health aspects of prophylactic vaccination. As a result, evaluation of many vaccine effects condition on being infected. Conditioning on an event that occurs posttreatment (in our case, infection subsequent to assignment to vaccine or control) can r...
متن کاملCausal inference for vaccine effects on infectiousness.
If a vaccine does not protect individuals completely against infection, it could still reduce infectiousness of infected vaccinated individuals to others. Typically, vaccine efficacy for infectiousness is estimated based on contrasts between the transmission risk to susceptible individuals from infected vaccinated individuals compared with that from infected unvaccinated individuals. Such estim...
متن کاملIdentification of causal effects on binary outcomes using structural mean models
Structural mean models (SMMs) were originally formulated to estimate causal effects among those selecting treatment in randomized controlled trials affected by nonignorable noncompliance. It has already been established that SMMs can identify these causal effects in randomized placebo-controlled trials under fairly weak assumptions. SMMs are now being used to analyze other types of study where ...
متن کاملRobust system estimation of causal effects on binary outcomes, with application to effect of alcohol abuse on employment
This paper discusses estimation of causal effects of non-randomly assigned binary treatments on binary outcomes. The approach is full information maximum likelihood estimation of endogenously switching nonlinear regressions with a multivariate Student’s-t error structure. An application measures the effect of problem drinking on probability of employment. JEL Classification: I1, C3 I thank the ...
متن کاملSensitivity analysis for the assessment of causal vaccine effects on viral load in HIV vaccine trials.
Vaccines with limited ability to prevent HIV infection may positively impact the HIV/AIDS pandemic by preventing secondary transmission and disease in vaccine recipients who become infected. To evaluate the impact of vaccination on secondary transmission and disease, efficacy trials assess vaccine effects on HIV viral load and other surrogate endpoints measured after infection. A standard test ...
