Hi All
<div class="">Sorry for the late reply. I would suggest another category “Epidemiology/Public Health/Health Services Research”, under which one could classify research by Bruce Lee, Carl Asche, Sixten Borg, and Tracy Comans. I think this is a better categorization
than “risk assessment” and “resource planning”, which the above mentioned authors’s work is currently categorized under. This is merely a suggestion and those mentioned above have final say about their work’s categorization.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Also, please replace the paragraph about the kinds of models I work on as below. Based on the new text below, I would also classify my work under the following categories for the table: resource planning/allocation, testing theory and risk assessment.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">New text for my paragraph: </b>Determinants of human health — environment, social, biology— operate at multiple levels (individual, neighborhood, regional). We use systems science thinking and computational epidemiology methods to
bring together theory, data and methods from multiple disciplines. This has applications in satellite-based air pollution exposure assessment and birth outcomes [27], predictive validation of agent-based models for influenza [28], testing hypothesis regarding
social deprivation and burden of influenza [29], and modeling the natural history of esophageal cancer with a cost-effectiveness analysis [Ref., see below].</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d" class="">I think your edits make very good sense. Regarding the category "resource planning" - I usually describe this as "resource allocation"
although I do like resouce planning too since it gives you a feeling of planning ahead whereas resource allocation is perhaps not as forward looking? Anyway I suggest we pick a category name that most people belonging there feel comfortable with (currently
listed: Santos, Borg, Asche, Ma, Forbes, Comans)<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></p>

in resource planning, I agree. The work of Borg, Asche, Coman seem relatively applied (and close to descisions on how to organized care) whereas Ma's description appear to start out theoretically but then seems applied in modelling US influenza scenarios.

pronounced category of each person's work), and then we could have a table with {the people} x {the categories} where more than one category could be checked for each individual person's work? E.g. I might argue my work also slightly belong to the category
predicting drug effects but not at all as pronounced as the category resource planning (or possibly resource allocation).<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></span></p>
