Title: Effects of school breaks on influenza-like illness incidence in a temperate Chinese region: an ecological study from 2008 to 2015 Document date: 2017_3_6
ID: r7a0orh7_16
Snippet: In this study, our findings generally support that winter/summer school breaks could achieve temporary reductions in ILI incidence rates, especially among schoolchildren (age of 5-14 and 15-24). In consistency with previous empirical studies in Chile, USA and European countries, 10 17 the average reduction in schoolchildren-to-adult IRRs in Beijing lasted for up to 2 weeks (table 1) after school sessions resumed, and this allowed a few successive.....
Document: In this study, our findings generally support that winter/summer school breaks could achieve temporary reductions in ILI incidence rates, especially among schoolchildren (age of 5-14 and 15-24). In consistency with previous empirical studies in Chile, USA and European countries, 10 17 the average reduction in schoolchildren-to-adult IRRs in Beijing lasted for up to 2 weeks (table 1) after school sessions resumed, and this allowed a few successive chains of transmission for influenza virus to reach full-scale transmission. 10 The finding that ILI incidence rates decreased substantially in schoolchildren yet modestly in adults during winter breaks is consistent with past work on age-specific influenza transmission. 17 Moreover, the reduction in ILI during the school holidays went beyond the dips in ILI ±4 weeks surrounding the holiday weeks (see online supplementary appendix), further supporting our suggestion of lower influenza transmission in schoolchildren during school breaks.
