MultiNodeInterventionDistributor

The MultiNodeInterventionDistributor intervention class distributes multiple node-level interventions when the distributor only allows specifying one intervention.

Note

Parameters are case-sensitive. For Boolean parameters, set to 1 for true or 0 for false. Minimum, maximum, or default values of “NA” indicate that those values are not applicable for that parameter.

EMOD does not use true defaults; that is, if the dependency relationships indicate that a parameter is required, you must supply a value for it. However, many of the tools used to work with EMOD will use the default values provided below.

JSON does not permit comments, but you can add “dummy” parameters to add contextual information to your files.

The table below describes all possible parameters with which this class can be configured. The JSON example that follows shows one potential configuration.

Parameter	Data type	Minimum	Maximum	Default	Description	Example
Disqualifying_Properties	array of strings	NA	NA	[]	A list of NodeProperty key:value pairs that cause an intervention to be aborted (persistent interventions will stop being distributed to individuals with these values). See NodeProperties and IndividualProperties parameters for more information. Generally used to control the flow of health care access. For example, to prevent the same individual from accessing health care via two different routes at the same time.	{ "Disqualifying_Properties": [ "InterventionStatus:LostForever" ] }
Intervention_Name	string	NA	NA	NA	The optional name used to refer to this intervention as a means to differentiate it from others that use the same class.	{ "Intervention_Config": { "class": "MultiNodeInterventionDistributor", "Intervention_Name": "Country-wide vaccination" } }
New_Property_Value	string	NA	NA	NA	An optional NodeProperty key:value pair that will be assigned when the intervention is distributed. See NodeProperties and IndividualProperties parameters for more information. Generally used to indicate the broad category of health care cascade to which an intervention belongs to prevent individuals from accessing care through multiple pathways. For example, if an individual must already be taking a particular medication to be prescribed a new one.	{ "New_Property_Value": "InterventionStatus:None" }
Node_Intervention_List	array of JSON objects	NA	NA	NA	A list of nested JSON objects for the multi-node-level interventions to be distributed by this intervention.	{ "Intervention_Config": { "class": "MultiNodeInterventionDistributor", "Node_Intervention_List": [ { "class": "SpaceSpraying", "Cost_To_Consumer": 1.0, "Habitat_Target": "ALL_HABITATS", "Spray_Kill_Target": "SpaceSpray_Indoor", "Killing_Config": { "class": "WaningEffectExponential", "Initial_Effect": 1.0, "Decay_Time_Constant": 90 }, "Reduction_Config": { "class": "WaningEffectExponential", "Initial_Effect": 1.0, "Decay_Time_Constant": 90 } }, { "class": "NodePropertyValueChanger", "Target_NP_Key_Value": "InterventionStatus:RECENT_SPRAY", "Daily_Probability": 1.0, "Maximum_Duration": 0, "Revert": 90 } ] } }
