Before revision:  However, existing epidemic models lack the ability to capture this complex decision-making process, which is shaped by an interplay of factors including government-mandated policy interventions, expected socio-economic costs, perceived infection risks and social influences. Here, we introduce a novel parsimonious  model, grounded in evolutionary game theory, able to capture decision-making dynamics over heterogeneous time scales.
