StandardInterventionDistributionEventCoordinator

The StandardInterventionDistributionEventCoordinator coordinator class distributes an individual-level or node-level intervention to a specified fraction of individuals or nodes within a node set. Recurring campaigns can be created by specifying the number of times distributions should occur and the time between repetitions.

Demographic restrictions such as Demographic_Coverage and Target_Gender do not apply when distributing node-level interventions. The node-level intervention must handle the demographic restrictions.

See the following JSON example and table, which shows all available parameters for this event coordinator.

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 format does not permit comments, but you can add "dummy" parameters to add contextual
information to your files. Any keys that are not EMOD parameter names will be ignored by the
model.

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

Parameter Example Description Type Min Max Default
Demographic_Coverage link The fraction of individuals in the target demographic that will receive this intervention. float 0 1 1
Intervention_Config link The nested JSON of the actual intervention to be distributed by this event coordinator. JSON object nan nan nan
Node_Property_Restrictions link A list of the NodeProperty key:value pairs, as defined in the demographics file, that nodes must have to be targeted by the intervention. See parameters for more information.
You can specify AND and OR combinations of key:value pairs with this parameter.
array of JSON objects nan nan nan
Number_Repetitions link The number of times an intervention is given, used with Timesteps_Between_Repetitions. integer -1 1000 1
Property_Restrictions link A list of the IndividualProperty key:value pairs, as defined in the demographics file, that individuals must have to be targeted by this intervention. See parameters for more information.
To specify AND and OR combinations of key:value pairs, use Property_Restrictions_Within_Node. You cannot use both of these parameters in the same event coordinator.
array of JSON objects nan nan nan
Property_Restrictions_Within_Node link A list of the IndividualProperty key:value pairs, as defined in the demographics file, that individuals must have to be targeted by this intervention. See parameters for more information.
This parameter allows you to specify AND and OR combinations of key:value pairs. You may specify individual property restrictions using either this parameter or Property_Restrictions, but not both.
array of JSON objects nan nan nan
Target_Age_Max link The upper end of ages targeted for an intervention, in years. Used when Target_Demographic is set to ExplicitAgeRanges or ExplicitAgeRangesAndGender. float 0 9.3228e+35 9.3228e+35
Target_Age_Min link The lower end of ages targeted for an intervention, in years. Used when Target_Demographic is set to ExplicitAgeRanges or ExplicitAgeRangesAndGender. float 0 3.40282e+38 0
Target_Demographic link The target demographic group. Possible values are:
Everyone
ExplicitAgeRanges
ExplicitAgeRangesAndGender
ExplicitGender
* ExplicitDiseaseState
enum nan nan Everyone
Target_Gender link Specifies the gender restriction for the intervention. Possible values are:
Male
Female
* All
enum nan nan All
Target_Residents_Only link When set to true (1), the intervention is only distributed to individuals that began the simulation in the node (i.e. those that claim the node as their residence). boolean 0 1 0
Timesteps_Between_Repetitions link The repetition interval. integer -1 10000 -1
