Abstract:
|
Here we consider estimating causal effects of vaccination under interference from studies where groups are randomized to receive a vaccine of interest or a control vaccine. Individuals within the groups self-select to participate and be vaccinated or not, thus many may not comply with the randomization. Information on disease outcome is available for all individuals in the groups. We consider estimation and inference for the indirect (spillover), total, and overall effects from such studies. We compare this to two-staged randomized studies. We present an influenza vaccine study and a typhoid vaccine study as examples.
