Human behavior and infectious disease are related in a dynamic feedback loop. This integral and ubiquitous relationship is often ignored in epidemiological modeling, leading to findings that overlook a crucial element in determining infectious disease transmission and thus have limited utility for public health purposes. Significant past work focuses on one side of the behavior-disease relationship: how contact behavior determines disease transmission. Far less attention has been paid to how disease changes social behavior and the dynamic effects of these behavioral changes on future disease spread. The work that does consider the entire behavior-disease feedback loop is largely theoretical and lacks support from empirical data.
