Risk-Taking Behavior and Its Impact on Treatment, Vaccination and Diagnosing [PDF]
, 2015 We present results from two recent mathematical biology studies that address the effect of risk-taking behavior on epidemic models. We show that when risk-taking prevails over riskavoidance, it is possible to show a detrimental and counterintuitive ...
