STIIsPostDebut

The STIIsPostDebut intervention class is based on SimpleDiagnostic, but adds a check to see if the individual is post-STI debut. Note that this is not connected to IndividualProperties in the demographics file.

Note

Parameters are case-sensitive. For Boolean parameters, set to 1 for true or 0 for false. JSON does not permit comments, but you can add “dummy” parameters to add contextual information to your files.

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

Parameter Data type Minimum Maximum Default Description Example
Negative_Diagnosis_Event enum NA NA NoTrigger The name of the event to broadcast when an individual is found to NOT be Post-Debut age. Event_or_Config must be set to Event. See Event list for possible values.
{
    "Intervention_Config": {
        "class": "STIIsPostDebut",
        "Event_Or_Config": "Event",
        "Positive_Diagnosis_Event": "PostDebut",
        "Negative_Diagnosis_Event": "PreDebut"
    }
}
Treatment_Fraction float 0 1 1 The fraction of positive diagnoses that are treated.

        "Treatment_Fraction": 1.0,
        "class": "SimpleDiagnostic"
    }
}
Positive_Diagnosis_Config JSON object NA NA NA The intervention distributed to individuals if they test positive. Only used when Event_Or_Config is set to Config.

            }
        }]
    }
}
Cost_To_Consumer float 0 3.40E+3 1 The unit ‘cost’ assigned to the diagnostic. Setting Cost_To_Consumer to zero for all other interventions, and to a non-zero amount for one intervention, provides a convenient way to track the number of times the intervention has been applied in a simulation.
{
    "Cost_To_Consumer": 0.333
}
Positive_Diagnosis_Event enum NA NA No_Trigger If the test is positive, this specifies an event that can trigger another intervention when the event occurs. Only used if Event_Or_Config is set to Event. See Event list for possible values.
{
    "Intervention_Config": {
        "Base_Sensitivity": 1.0,
        "Base_Specificity": 1.0,
        "Cost_To_Consumer": 0.0,

        "Treatment_Fraction": 1.0,
        "class": "SimpleDiagnostic"
    }
}
Event_Or_Config enum NA NA Config

Specifies whether the current intervention (or a positive diagnosis, depending on the intervention class) distributes a nested intervention (the Config option) or an event will be broadcast which may trigger other interventions in the campaign file (the Event option). Possible values are:

  • Event
  • Config
{
    "Event_Or_Config": "Config"
}
Base_Sensitivity float 0 1 1 The sensitivity of the diagnostic. This sets the proportion of the time that individuals with the condition being tested receive a positive diagnostic test. When set to 1, the diagnostic always accurately reflects the condition. When set to zero, then individuals who have the condition always receive a false-negative diagnostic test.
{
    "Base_Sensitivity": 0.8
}
Base_Specificity float 0 1 1 The specificity of the diagnostic. This sets the proportion of the time that individuals without the condition being tested receive a negative diagnostic test. When set to 1, the diagnostic always accurately reflects the lack of having the condition. When set to zero, then individuals who do not have the condition always receive a false-positive diagnostic test.
{
    "Base_Specificity": 0.9
}
Days_To_Diagnosis float 0 3.40E+3 0 The number of days from test until diagnosis.
{
    "Days_To_Diagnosis": 0.0
}
Dont_Allow_Duplicates boolean NA NA 0 If an individual’s container has an intervention, set to true (1) to prevent them from receiving another copy of the intervention. Supported by all intervention classes.
{
    "Dont_Allow_Duplicates": 0
}
Disqualifying_Properties string NA NA NA A list of IndividualProperty key:value pairs that cause an intervention to be aborted (persistent interventions will stop being distributed to individuals with these values). See NodeProperties and IndividualProperties 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.
{
    "Disqualifying_Properties": [
        "InterventionStatus:LostForever"
    ]
}
Intervention_Name string NA NA NA The optional name used to refer to this intervention as a means to differentiate it from others that use the same class.
{
    "Intervention_Name":"Diagnostic_Sample"
}
New_Property_Value string NA NA NA An optional IndividualProperty key:value pair that will be assigned when the intervention is distributed. See NodeProperties and IndividualProperties 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.
