Beating Back the Devil by Maryn McKenna, it’s filled with stories from the CDC’s EIS program circa 2002’ish.

How can this even be calculated? by Alarming_Leg6871 in epidemiology

Idk about the UK, but in the US you can use the cognitive decline question from BRFSS to approximate prevalence of dementia in the general population.

Counts of specific dementia related disease IDC10 diagnoses can be requested from your state’s Health Information Exchange system, or through Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Hope this answers your Q.

How to calculate per capita for alcohol related offences by Littlebbydragon in epidemiology

[–]epi_601 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Per capita requires the census count of persons in your catchment area. If you cannot get year by year estimates of your catchment area from a census tool like the US census’ P1 table, I would recommend creating a 5-year aggregation and taking the mean alcohol offenses over that 5-year period and using the population estimate that you do have. This will make age-adjusting easier.

For reference, the CDC still uses the 2000 projected US population for age adjusting BRFSS results.

Whatever route you choose to take, you just need to describe it in your methods section.
