Abstract

The household structure is an important aspect of population based simulation. How to generate a mock population with specific household structure characteristics is thus an important question. The network structure is one of the dominant factors for contact-based disease transmission. And household structure is the most important source of close contact among small groups. We identify the percentage of elderly-children households as an important character and study the process to generate mock population with specified percentage of elderly-children households. The generated mock populations are fed into the agent-based simulation module to study the impact of household structure on vaccination policy.
