| description | Infectious disease is one of the health issues that
threatens the world population. The spread of infectious diseases
can be controlled via vaccination program and self-isolation as
suggested by the public health organization. The individuals’
incentives to take the control measures are depend on their
fearfulness on the disease. This fearfulness or feeling of fear is
associated with human behavior. Hence, the objective of this
study is to incorporate human behavior in disease modeling. We
also aimed to study the level of fearfulness in both
subpopulations of receiving complete information and receiving
incomplete information and its impact to the vaccination
program. In this paper, a model is developed by using individualbased
modelling approach to capture the human behavioral
changes during disease outbreak. The analysis of the results
presented the relationship between the fearfulness and the
vaccination decision of the individual. Hence, the level of
fearfulness needs to be examined in order to organize an effective
vaccination program. |
