INFERENCE ABOUT POPULATION ATTRIBUTABLE RISK FROM CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDIES [PDF]

American Journal of Epidemiology, 1979
The population attributable risk (PAR) is defined as the fraction of all cases of a disease in a population due to exposure to a given risk factor. The data collected in cross-sectional surveys are used to test a formula of standard error of PAR from which a 95% confidence interval for PAR may be deduced.
