Evaluation and communication of pandemic scenarios
Övrig text i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2024
In recent years, publications in The Lancet Digital Health have presented research involving pandemic scenarios. However, during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the terms prediction, scenario, and forecast were often used interchangeably as discussed by Kristen Nixon and colleagues, leading to confusion. Although distinctions between these concepts have been refined during the pandemic, we find that clarification is needed for the use of scenario projections as narrative devices. We also encourage more discussion regarding the terminology used to describe scenarios and how they are evaluated.
