Socioeconomic inequalities have a significant impact on infectious diseases, with COVID-19 serving as a prime example. This highlights the necessity of incorporating socioeconomic factors into epidemic modeling. In this line, the workshop will focus on various aspects that help elucidate the pathways through which socioeconomic conditions influence transmission dynamics.
The goal of the workshop is to explore the link between demographic and socioeconomic factors and epidemics. It will bring together experts from public health, epidemic modeling, and economics to discuss how socioeconomic determinant shape the impact of infectious diseases. The workshop will explore three main dimensions: 1) The relationship between socioeconomic determinants and infectious disease outcomes, 2) The connection between contact and protective behaviors and socioeconomic factors, and 3) The integration of socioeconomic determinants into epidemic modeling of infectious diseases. |
