The Concept of Attributable Risk in Epidemiological Practice
Biometrical Journal, 1999Summary: Different epidemiological parameters have been suggested for the quantification of the impact of an exposure factor on the burden of morbidity of a population, termed ``attributable risk''. Of these definitions, the ``AR'' as introduced by \textit{M.L. Levin} [Acta Univ. Int.

Attributions in explanations of risk estimates
Public Understanding of Science, 2002In the spring of 1993, nearly 40 percent of Milwaukee-area residents experienced a nationally publicized outbreak of cryptosporidium, a parasite that infested the metropolitan drinking water supply. Using open-ended survey data gathered from 610 adult residents in the wake of that outbreak, this study looks at factors related to the ways in which ...

Comparisons of Confidence Intervals for Attributable Risk
Biometrics, 1981Confidence intervals for the attributable risk in various epidemiologic study designs are obtained, via a transformation, from the confidence interval for the natural logarithm of the product of the probability of being exposed to the risk factor, and the risk ratio minus one.

While performance analysis is typically conducted on a benchmark-relative basis, risk analysis is often presented on an absolute-return basis. This mismatch between sources of risk and return leads to the pitfall that active management decisions cannot be evaluated on a risk-adjusted basis.

Tail risk refers to the shape of the left tail of the distribution of investment returns. Return distributions are traditionally described in terms of their first for moments: mean return, volatility, skewness and kurtosis. Attribution is a descriptive approach used in portfolio analysis to explain a certain magnitude as the sum of contributions from ...

Attributable risk of Alzheimer's dementia attributed to age‐related neuropathologies
Annals of Neurology, 2018ObjectiveThe degree to which Alzheimer's versus other neuropathologies contribute to the risk of Alzheimer's dementia is unknown. We examined the risk of Alzheimer's dementia attributable to pathologic AD and 8 other neuropathologies.MethodsParticipants (n = 1,161) came from 2 clinical‐pathological studies of aging.

Modifying Attributions of Colorectal Cancer Risk
Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, 2004Abstract We report how a four-group risk communication intervention targeted to individuals in the carpentry trade affected their perceived causes (i.e., attributions) for increased colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. The intervention varied the amount of information presented on CRC risk factors and whether participants received tailored ...

Perception of Risk and the Attribution of Responsibility for Accidents
Risk Analysis, 2013Accidents, one often hears, “happen”; we accept, and even expect, that they will be part of daily life. But in situations in which injury or death result, judgments of responsibility become critical. How might our perceptions of risk influence the ways in which we allocate responsibility for an accident?
