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
Actual_IndividualIntervention_Config link The configuration of an actual individual intervention sought. Selects a class for the intervention and configures the parameters specific for that intervention class. JSON object nan nan nan
Demographic_Coverage link The fraction of individuals in the target demographic that will receive this intervention. float 0 1 1
Disqualifying_Properties link A list of NodeProperty key:value pairs that cause an intervention to be aborted (persistent interventions will stop being distributed to nodes with these values). See 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. array of strings nan nan []
Duration link The number of days to continue this intervention.
.. Note::
For BirthTriggeredIV, specifying a value of -1 results in indefinite persistence of the birth-triggered intervention.
float -1 3.40282e+38 -1
Intervention_Name link The optional name used to refer to this intervention as a means to differentiate it from others that use the same class. string nan nan BirthTriggeredIV
New_Property_Value link An optional NodeProperty key:value pair that will be assigned when the intervention is distributed. See 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. string nan nan nan
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_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
