Decision models quantify tradeoffs in post-eradication polio policies; leaves open optimal strategies for decisionmakers.
Decision analytic modeling highlights that surveillance, response, and containment choices significantly impact costs and cases in posteradication polio risk management.
Tebbens et al. (2008) studied Polio risk management after eradication. Polio risk management policies (surveillance, response, containment, and immunization) was evaluated on Expected final costs and polio cases. Decision analytic modeling showed that choices regarding surveillance, response, containment, and immunization policies play a major role in expected final costs and polio cases after eradication.
