Social contagion has an additional complication
![Page 20: From the Ecological to the Social: Applying “Levins Lessons” to the Workplace Brian Rubineau, PhD (MSPH 2000) brian.rubineau@mcgill.ca Levins85 | May 22,](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032707/56649e0f5503460f94afaac3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Additional concerns: complex contagion
• Flu vs gonorrhea – different approaches– Population vs “efficient transmitters”
• Even worse in social contagion:– Threshold effects & complex contagion
