Disease Surveillance on Complex Social Networks
As infectious disease surveillance systems expand to include digital, crowd-sourced, and social network data, public health agencies are gaining unprecedented access to high-resolution data and have an opportunity to selectively monitor informative individuals. Contact networks, which are the webs of interaction through which diseases spread, determine whether and when individuals become infect...
متن کاملHealth surveillance through social networks
We propose a network-based method to monitor health behaviors and point out the general conditions for it to work effectively. The method helps to identify effective informants for monitoring future health behaviors and to triangulate self-reports of sensitive health behaviors. We demonstrate the method by studying the smoking behaviors of over 4000 middle school students in China. Using studen...
متن کاملComplex Networks and Social Networks
Complex networks arise in many diverse contexts, ranging from web pages and their links, protein-protein interaction networks, and social networks. The modelling and mining of these large-scale, self-organizing systems is a broad effort spanning many disciplines. A number of common properties have been observed in complex networks, such as power law degree distributions and the small world prop...
متن کاملComplex 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 کاملModeling disease spreading on complex networks
Based on complex network approach, a contact network model with scale-free property is built. By analyzing the fact data of H1N1 influenza provided by Beijing Health Bureau, contact tracing mechanism is used to research H1N1 virus transmission dynamics with this model. Furthermore, the contact tracing coefficient and random checking coefficient are studied to analyze their impact on the peak va...
