g) Models can be used to communicate public health measures

Models can be used to communicate public health measures. Although a sustained cadre of public health modellers is crucial, public trust is strengthened when modelling and scientific consensus-building is bolstered by those at arms-length from decision-making (e.g., by university scientists).

  • In the COVID-19 pandemic, public communication of modelling helped to bring support for public health measures, including vaccination and social distancing, by providing accurate, evidence-based information (McCarthy et al. 2020; Tang et al. 2020).
