diag_survey

add_diagnostic_survey(campaign, coverage=1, repetitions=1, tsteps_btwn_repetitions=365, target='Everyone', start_day=1, diagnostic_type='BLOOD_SMEAR_PARASITES', diagnostic_threshold=40, measurement_sensitivity=0.1, event_name='Diagnostic Survey', node_ids=None, positive_diagnosis_configs=None, negative_diagnosis_configs=None, received_test_event='Received_Test', ind_property_restrictions=None, disqualifying_properties=None, trigger_condition_list=None, listening_duration=-1, triggered_campaign_delay=0, check_eligibility_at_trigger=False, expire_recent_drugs=None)

Add an intervention to create either a scheduled or a triggered event to the campaign using the 🇵🇾class:~emodpy_malaria.interventions.common.MalariaDiagnostic class, an individual-level class, to test individuals. Upon positive or negative diagnosis, the list of events to occur (as defined in positive_diagnosis_configs or negative_diagnosis_configs) is then executed. These events can trigger other listening interventions.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
campaign campaign

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

required
coverage float

The probability an individual receives the diagnostic.

1
repetitions int

Number of repetitions of the survey intervention.

1
tsteps_btwn_repetitions int

Timesteps between repetitions.

365
target object

A dictionary targeting an age range and gender of individuals for treatment. In the format {"agemin": x, "agemax": y, "gender": z}. Default is Everyone.

'Everyone'
start_day int

The day of the simulation on which the intervention is created. If triggered, runs on trigger, not on start_day.

1
diagnostic_type str

Type of malaria diagnostic used. Default is BLOOD_SMEAR_PARASITES. Available options are:

'BLOOD_SMEAR_PARASITES'
diagnostic_threshold float

The diagnostic detection threshold based on diagnostic_type:

TRUE_INFECTION_STATUS

BLOOD_SMEAR_PARASITES In parasites/microliter, use measurement = float( 1.0 / measurementSensitivity * Poisson(measurementSensitivity * true_parasite_density)). BLOOD_SMEAR_GAMETOCYTES In gametocytes/microliter, use measurement = float( 1.0 / measurementSensitivity * Poisson(measurementSensitivity * true_gametocyte_density)). PCR_PARASITES and PCR_GAMETOCYTES Use the true values and an algorithm based on the paper Improving statistical inference on pathogen densities estimated by quantitative molecular methods : malaria gametocytaemia as a case study <https://doi.org/10.1186/s12859-014-0402-2>_. PF_HRP2 Add a new method to get the PfHRP2 value and check against the threshold. TRUE_PARASITE_DENSITY Check the true parasite density against the threshold. FEVER Check the person's fever against the threshold.

40
measurement_sensitivity float

None
trigger_condition_list list

List of events that will trigger a diagnostic survey.

None
listening_duration int

Duration after start day to stop listening for events, as specified in trigger_condition_list. Default is -1, non-stop listening.

-1
triggered_campaign_delay int

Delay of running the intervention after receiving a trigger from the trigger_condition_list.

0
check_eligibility_at_trigger bool

If triggered event is delayed, you have an option to check individual/node's eligibility at the initial trigger or when the event is actually distributed after delay.

False
expire_recent_drugs any

Adds [{"DrugStatus:None"}] to Property_Restrictions_Within_Node for positive test config, so only those with that property receive drugs.

None
