An individual-based stochastic microsimulation of human papillomavirus and cervical cancer in the United States: Supplemental technical information. The appendix provided includes a supplementary description of the model structure, parameterization, calibration, and evaluation as well as information on the results of calibration and on screening and vaccination strategies used to illustrate the impact of parameter uncertainty, identified via calibration, on the uncertainty of policy-relevant outcomes. The appendix also provides details on other screening strategies implemented in the model useful in further policy analyses of cervical cancer prevention.
