AbstractThis research contributes to epidemiological modeling by integrating mathematical modeling and social and behavioral sciences to enhance the infectious disease modeling paradigm. From social distancing and mask-wearing in response to perceived risk of infection to changes in non-pharmaceutical Interventions under economic pressures, human responses altered the COVID-19 pandemic outcomes. In this project, foundational steps are taken toward the vision of merging behavioral and epidemiological mod
