About the Action

About
Epidemiological studies assessing disease prevalence are critically important to both identification of new or re-emerging pathogens and control of endemic pathogens in humans and animals (including zoonosis and food borne outbreaks) and are therefore ubiquitous worldwide.
The main challenge for the application of BLCMs in the evaluation of diagnostic tests and the true prevalence estimation lies in the lack of adequate communication, knowledge transfer and collaboration between experts in the field and researchers working in statistics, epidemiology, diagnostics and population health.
The overarching objective of HARMONY is to enable valid prevalence comparisons across Europe and beyond. Hence, main aim of this COST Action is to coordinate and promote the implementation of BLCMs through networking and knowledge transfer between BLCM experts and researchers working in statistics, epidemiology, diagnostics and population health.
