DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly shown that the burden of a p
 andemic extends beyond health into wealth\, lost years of education and li
 mited personal freedoms. We offer a modelling framework that explicitly de
 scribes the interplay between these phenomena\, with the aim to derive mit
 igation protocols that are optimised for a desired. The original version o
 f this model required arbitrary assumptions regarding changes in adherence
  to non-pharmaceutical interventions such as mask wearing\, which limits t
 he model's predictive power. We offer a new approach to integrated modelli
 ng that is centred around behavioural heterogeneity in which all drivers o
 f change in transmission are intrinsic and thus can be calibrated to epide
 miological data. This motivates a new direction in epidemiology\, driven b
 y behavioural economics.
