emodpy_malaria.interventions.bednet module#

This module contains functionality for bednet distribution.

emodpy_malaria.interventions.bednet.new_intervention_as_file(campaign, start_day, filename=None)[source]#

Write a campaign file to disk with a single bednet event, using defaults. Useful for testing and learning.

Parameters:

  • campaign – The emod_api.campaign object to which the intervention will be added.

  • start_day – The day of the simulation on which the bednets are distributed. We recommend aligning this with the start of the simulation.

  • filename – The campaign filename; can be omitted and default will be used and returned to user.

Returns:

The campaign filename written to disk.

Add a scheduled SimpleBednet intervention.

Parameters:

  • campaign – object for building, modifying, and writing campaign configuration files.

  • start_day – Start day of intervention.

  • coverage_by_ages – A list of dictionaries defining the coverage per age group. For example, [{"coverage":1,"min": 1, "max": 10}, {"coverage":1,"min": 11, "max": 50}].

  • start_day – The day the intervention is given out.

  • demographic_coverage – This value is the probability that each individual in the target population will receive the intervention. It does not guarantee that the exact fraction of the target population set by Demographic_Coverage receives the intervention.

  • target_num_individuals – The exact number of people to select out of the targeted group. If this value is set, demographic_coverage parameter is ignored

  • node_ids – List of nodes to which to distribute the intervention. [] or None, indicates all nodes will get the intervention

  • repetitions – The number of times an intervention is given, used with timesteps_between_repetitions. -1 means the intervention repeats forever. Sets Number_Repetitions

  • timesteps_between_repetitions – The interval, in timesteps, between repetitions. Ignored if repetitions = 1. Sets Timesteps_Between_Repetitions.

  • ind_property_restrictions – A list of dictionaries of IndividualProperties, which are needed for the individual to receive the intervention. Sets the Property_Restrictions_Within_Node. In the format [{ "BitingRisk":"High"}, {"IsCool":"Yes}]

  • receiving_itn_broadcast_event – Optional. BroadcastEvent that’s sent out when bednet is received. Default is to send out ‘Received_ITN’ event. To not send out event set to None.

  • killing_initial_effect – Initial strength of the Killing effect. The effect may decay over time.

  • killing_box_duration – Box duration of effect in days before the decay of Killing Initial_Effect.

  • killing_decay_time_constant – The exponential decay length, in days of the Killing Initial_Effect.

  • blocking_initial_effect – Initial strength of the Blocking effect. The effect may decay over time.

  • blocking_box_duration – Box duration of effect in days before the decay of Blocking Initial_Effect.

  • blocking_decay_time_constant – The exponential decay length, in days of the Blocking Initial_Effect.

  • repelling_initial_effect – Initial strength of the Repelling effect. The effect may decay over time.

  • repelling_box_duration – Box duration of effect in days before the decay of Repelling Initial_Effect.

  • repelling_decay_time_constant – The exponential decay length, in days of the Repelling Initial_Effect.

  • usage_initial_effect – Determines when and if an individual is using a bed net.

  • usage_box_duration –

    ?

  • usage_decay_time_constant –

    ?

  • insecticide – The name of the insecticide defined in config.Insecticides for this intervention. If insecticides are being used, then this must be defined as one of those values. If they are not being used, then this does not needed to be specified or can be empty string. It cannot have a value if config.Insecticides does not define anything.

  • cost – Unit cost per bednet

  • intervention_name – The optional name used to refer to this intervention as a means to differentiate it from others that use the same class. It’s possible to have multiple SimpleBednet interventions attached to a person if they have different Intervention_Name values.

Returns:

Nothing
