Transmission dynamics may bias attributable risk estimates in diarrheal intervention trials; leaves open whether transmission-adjusted methods improve validity.
Incorporating dependencies among individuals in a transmission model can quantify and adjust for bias in attributable risk estimates from intervention trials of infectious diseases.
Eisenberg et al. (2003) studied Infectious diarrheal disease. Mathematical model of disease transmission was evaluated on Bias in attributable risk estimates. A mathematical model of infectious diarrheal disease demonstrated that bias in attributable risk estimates from intervention trials is a function of person-to-person transmission.
