We designed a survey that combines questions about behavioral practices that could expose individuals to Ebola infection and questions to measure sociodemographic and economic (SDE) factors. The survey was administered in Sierra Leone in the Bombali rural region. We analyzed our data by different means and developed a regression model that measures the spillover risk probability as a function of a number of SDE features. Once the model was calibrated, we extrapolated the results at the national level using surveyed data from Statistics Sierra Leone (SSL) to generate the infection spillover exposure map.
