Design theory to better target public health priorities: An application to Lyme disease in France.

ABSTRACT: In the context of complex public health challenges led by interdependent changes such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and resistance to treatment, it is important to mobilize methods that guide us to generate innovative interventions in a context of uncertainty and unknown.
