Define care-seeking propensity module for STIsim.

Provides a cross-disease individual-level care-seeking propensity that can be used by testing interventions across HIV, syphilis, and other diseases.

Classes

Name	Description
CareSeeking	Cross-disease care-seeking propensity for each individual.

CareSeeking

care_seeking.CareSeeking(pars=None, **kwargs)

Cross-disease care-seeking propensity for each individual.

Each agent gets a baseline propensity drawn from a distribution at birth. Men have lower propensity by default (controlled by rel_care_m2f). The propensity may be temporarily modified by factors like pregnancy.

Methods

Name	Description
set_care_seeking_states	Set baseline care-seeking propensity for each agent.
step	Initialize propensity for newborns, then reset all propensities

set_care_seeking_states

care_seeking.CareSeeking.set_care_seeking_states(upper_age=None)

Set baseline care-seeking propensity for each agent. Called at init (upper_age=None for all agents) and each step (upper_age=dt to initialize newborns).

step

care_seeking.CareSeeking.step()

Initialize propensity for newborns, then reset all propensities to baseline before applying temporary modifiers.
