Intervention plan
Thu, Apr 15, 2027 · Week 13 · Biotechnology for Health (Biomedical Innovations)
Today's goal: Finalize and submit a public health intervention plan grounded in your outbreak data.
What a finished product looks like
This is a model of the work you should turn in today. Use it to check your own: match the structure and the level of detail, do not copy it. Your data and wording should be your own.
Title: Intervention Plan, School Gastrointestinal Outbreak.
Evidence summary: line list of 5 cases; incidence rose every day through day 4; prevalence on day 4 was 3 active cases.
Recommended intervention: isolate symptomatic students and add a handwashing/surface-cleaning protocol, because the data shows ongoing day-to-day transmission and a likely contact/surface route.
Supporting data: the steady daily incidence (2, 1, 1, 1 new cases) shows transmission had not stopped on its own.
Success metric: number of NEW cases per day after rollout. Target: incidence drops to 0 new cases for 2 consecutive days (about one incubation period).
Citations: CDC norovirus prevention guidance (cdc.gov); class line-list dataset.
Tracker: marked the Problem 5 intervention plan as submitted.
