14 The purpose of this course is to learn how mathematical modelling can be used to evaluate healthcare interventions. In particular, we use cervical cancer prevention as a case study, and model impacts of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and Pap smear based screening into the cervical cancer related disease burden. To this end, we model HPV transmission (infections in population), natural history (infection to disease), and interventions, and show how the model parameters are obtained from data. Finally, we learn how cost-effectiveness analyses are built on top of the model outcomes and used to evaluate the healthcare interventions.

16 The course includes an optional programming part.

18 **Prerequisites:** Lectures: Differential equations, matrices; Optional programming part: computing skills (e.g., Matlab or R)

For the abstract format, see examples in pubmed ([[https:~~/~~/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed>>url:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed||shape="rect"]]) by searching e.g., for “cost-effectiveness HPV vaccination”. If no numbers are reported (only 2 credits then), explain in page 2 the modelling methods and what numbers should be computed.
