Spillover Effects of Infectious Disease Interventions on Non-recipients: A Case Study in Malaria Elimination

Jade Benjamin-Chung, PhD, MPH Assistant Professor, Epidemiology and Population Health Stanford University. Benjamin-Chung will discuss methods for estimating spillover effects: the effects of interventions on the 'health of populations that did not receive the intervention. She will present a case study detailing spatiotemporally targeted interventions that reduced malaria among non-recipients. The study used hierarchical targeted maximum likelihood estimation with ensemble machine learning and updated cost-effectiveness analyses.
