Factors associated with influenza-like-illness: a crowdsourced cohort study from 2012/13 to 2017/18

Abstract

This ILI risk factors analysis confirms and further completes the list of factors observed through traditional surveillance systems. It indicates that crowdsourced cohorts are effective to study ILI determinants at the population level. These findings could be used to adapt influenza prevention messages at the population level to reduce the spread of the disease.
