Based on such actual and representative data that enable researchers to infer findings to the whole population, our analyses aim to facilitate implementing more appropriate and effective strategies for controlling an emerging or pandemic disease infection. To ensure that such diary-based contact patterns provide accurate baseline data for policy implementation, we collected contact diaries from a representative national sample in Taiwan and extracted realistic parameters for our simulation modeling of disease infections. Our diary-based survey in Taiwan emphasizes the rigorous requirements on both systematic probability sampling and in-person (face-to-face) household interviews to ensure proper inference to the population as a whole.	./cache/cord-310466-0lbbiq7u.txt	./txt/cord-310466-0lbbiq7u.txt
