| Abstract | Epidemics arise from interactions between pathogens and human hosts, where the pathogen influences human behavior and human behavior influences the spread of the pathogen. The models used to predict pathogen spread do not include the complexity of interactions between disease and human behavior but instead focus on biological processes and policy interventions. However, disease transmission depends on people’s behaviors, which are shaped by their perceptions of risk from the disease and from hea |
