Age-specific social mixing of school-aged children in a US setting using proximity detecting sensors and contact surveys

Abstract Comparisons of the utility and accuracy of methods for measuring social interactions relevant to disease transmission are rare. To increase the evidence base supporting specific methods to measure social interaction, we compared data from self-reported contact surveys and wearable proximity...
