Mathematical Models Lesson 4_Advocacy priorities

  • MM slash DD slash YYYY

  • Advocacy priorities

    Whether you are an advocate or a journalist, think about your top 1-3 advocacy priorities. You must document at least 1 advocacty priority.
  • Ex. gaining access to PrEP for adolescent girls and yount women in South Africa.

  • How can mathematical models respond to advocacy priorities?

    For each advocacy priority, think about how you might phrase a question that could potentially be answered by mathematical models. Recall that mathematical models can be used to determine the impact of interventions, make projections about the future, make projections about cost and cost-effectiveness, and are useful in the design of prevention strategies and clinical trials.

  • Advocacy priority #1

  • Ex. What is the impact (e.g., of scaing up coverage, focusing on a particular age range, etc.) of PrEP?
  • Ex. How many HIV infections can be prevented by providing PrEP to adolescent girls in South Africa?
  • Ex. What is the most cost-effective way to reduce new HIV infections among adolescent girls in South Africa?
  • Ex. How many trial participants in South Africa do you need to test this new HIV prevention strategy?

  • Advocacy priority #2

  • Ex. What is the impact (e.g., of scaing up coverage, focusing on a particular age range, etc.) of PrEP?
  • Ex. How many HIV infections can be prevented by providing PrEP to adolescent girls in South Africa?
  • Ex. How many trial participants in South Africa do you need to test this new HIV prevention strategy?
  • Ex. What is the most cost-effective way to reduce new HIV infections among adolescent girls in South Africa?

  • Advocacy priority #3

  • Ex. What is the impact (e.g., of scaing up coverage, focusing on a particular age range, etc.) of PrEP?
  • Ex. How many HIV infections can be prevented by providing PrEP to adolescent girls in South Africa?
  • Ex. What is the most cost-effective way to reduce new HIV infections among adolescent girls in South Africa?
  • Ex. How many trial participants in South Africa do you need to test this new HIV prevention strategy?
