emodpy_malaria.interventions.treatment_seeking.add_treatment_seeking(campaign, start_day: int = 1, targets: list | None = None, drug: list | None = None, node_ids: list | None = None, ind_property_restrictions: list | None = None, drug_ineligibility_duration: float = 0, duration: int = -1, broadcast_event_name: str = 'Received_Treatment')[source]#

Add an event-triggered drug-seeking behavior intervention to the campaign using the NodeLevelHealthTriggeredIV. The intervention will distribute drugs to targeted individuals within the node.

targets is a list of dictionaries defining the trigger event and coverage for and properties of individuals to target with the intervention with all possible options being: [{“trigger”:”NewClinicalCase”,”coverage”:0.8,”agemin”:15,”agemax”:70, “rate”:0.3}] “rate” is the inverse of the average delay in time to treatment seeking from an exponential distribution “trigger” must be defined, but everything else has defaults: coverage = 1, affects all agemin/agemax = 0/125, affects all rate = 0, no delay, seek treatment immediately

Parameters:

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

  • start_day – Start day of intervention.

  • targets –

    List of dictionaries defining the trigger event and coverage for and properties of individuals to target with the intervention. “trigger” must be defined, other defaults are as follows - “coverage”:1,”agemin”:0,”agemax”:125, “rate”:0 (no delay)

    Example:

    [{"trigger":"NewClinicalCase","coverage":0.8,"agemin":15,"agemax":70, "rate":0.3}]

  • drug – List of drug(s) to administer from the drugs defined in config. Default is ["Artemether","Lumefantrine"]

  • node_ids – The list of nodes to apply this intervention to (Node_List

  • NodeSetAll. (parameter). If not provided, set value of)

  • ind_property_restrictions – List of IndividualProperty key:value pairs that

  • example, (individuals must have to receive the intervention. For) – ["IndividualProperty1:PropertyValue1", "IndividualProperty2:PropertyValue2"].

  • drug_ineligibility_duration – number of days for which an individual will be ineligible for more drugs

  • duration – duration from start_day until people will no longer seek drugs when sick. Default is -1, meaning they will always seek drugs when sick

  • broadcast_event_name – Event to broadcast when successful health seeking behavior. Default is “Received_Treatment”.

Returns:

None
