Modeling approach Dynamic, aggregate, deterministic Dynamic, aggregate, deterministic Dynamic, aggregate, stochastic Transmission and disease progression were modeled separately. For HPV 16/18 transmission: dynamic, aggregate, stochastic; for disease progression: static, individual-based, stochastic Static, aggregate, stochastic Two-part (transmission: dynamic, aggregate, deterministic; disease: static, aggregate, stochastic) Dynamic, aggregate, deterministic Agent-based (dynamic, individual, stochastic) Dynamic, aggregate, deterministic
