Spillover effects in epidemiology: parameters, study designs and methodological considerations
Many public health interventions provide benefits that extend beyond their direct recipients and impact people in close physical or social proximity who did not directly receive the intervention themselves. A classic example of this phenomenon is the herd protection provided by many vaccines. If these 'spillover effects' (i.e. 'herd effects') are present in the same direction as the effects on ...
متن کاملMethodological Considerations in the Study of Sociomateriality
This article uses a case of oil and gas exploration as the starting point for methodological considerations in the study of sociomateriality.

Population surveys are the most used technique to make estimations on drug use, but suffer from report biases. Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) collects wastewater samples and analyses them for the presence of drugs and their metabolites. This novel technique has not yet been compared to the results of more conventional epidemiological techniques, which was the goal of the current study. A w...

The Happiness Scale Interval Study deals with survey questions on happiness, using verbal response options, such as 'very happy' and 'pretty happy'.
