Complex social contagion makes networks more vulnerable to disease outbreaks
Social network analysis is now widely used to investigate the dynamics of infectious disease spread. Vaccination dramatically disrupts disease transmission on a contact network, and indeed, high vaccination rates can potentially halt disease transmission altogether. Here, we build on mounting evidence that health behaviors - such as vaccination, and refusal thereof - can spread across social ne...
متن کاملHow to Facilitate Social Contagion?
Achieving the Millennium Development Goals has proven to be a real challenge.

متن کاملInvestigating the Observability of Complex Contagion in Empirical Social Networks
Social contagion is the mechanism by which ideas and behaviors spread across human social networks. Simple contagion models approximate the likelihood of adoption as constant with each exposure to an “infected” network neighbor. However, social theory postulates that when adopting an idea or behavior carries personal or social risk, an individual’s adoption likelihood also depends on the number...
متن کاملVaccines, Contagion, and Social Networks
Consider the causal effect that one individual’s treatment may have on another individual’s outcome when the outcome is contagious, with specific application to the effect of vaccination on an infectious disease outcome. The effect of one individual’s vaccination on another’s outcome can be decomposed into two different causal effects, called the “infectiousness” and “contagion” effects. We pre...
