  • Mathematical Modeling for Public Health Practitioners and Researchers in Liberia

    Mathematical modeling is an approach to representing the dynamics in a population. In public health, we model both population dynamics (such as, social and behavioral processes) and disease dynamics (that is, the epidemiology of the disease).

    1

    Dynamics: Infections and Socio-Demographic Factors

    Learn about population dynamics and how they influence disease spread.

    2

    Basics: Compartmental Models and Assumptions

    Read examples of compartmental models and practice developing your own.

    3

    Extensions: Other Model Structures

    Consider scenarios when the assumptions of compartmental models require extensions. Learn about other modeling approaches.

    4

    Data: Parameterization

    Use data to inform your own modeling exercise. Search for relevant and appropriate information and creatively apply it.

  • Our approach to modeling

    We use people-centered approaches to understand public health problems in Liberia and develop research questions of community-level impact.
