Lesson 5 Assignment

Nadia Carvalho September 18, 2019

We need to ask the right questions about mathematical modeling exercises to understand and apply findings from the studies in our own work – whether we are advocating for an issue, or communicating the findings from the modeling to an audience.

In this assignment, you will be able to practice asking questions about mathematical modeling so that you can better understand it.

Use the poster “Modeling the Impact and Cost-Effectiveness of Oral Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in Mozambique” to complete the assignment.
