Researchers Map State-Level Influenza Vulnerability Using Machine Learning
|
9.3
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis published in PLOS Computational Biology (2026) a state-level influenza vulnerability index that integrates 39 socioeconomic and health indicators using machine-learning to map spatial risk. The study identifies regional hotspots such as the District of Columbia, New Mexico, Arizona, and Michigan and highlights differing local drivers like population density, insurance gaps, and demographics, enabling targeted policy interventions.
