Attributable fraction among the exposed
 | This article relies largely or entirely on a single source. (February 2012) |
Attributable risk percent (ARP) is a calculation that can be derived from attributable risk.[1]
It gives the portion of cases attributable (and avoidable) to this exposure in relation to all cases.
It can be calculated as (relative risk - 1) / relative risk.[1]
Compare the concept of "fraction of attributable risk" (FAR).[2]

Epidemiologists have long estimated such probabilities using the concept of Fraction of Attributable Risk (FAR), and in 2004, Stott, Stone, and Allen applied this concept to the question of whether climate change was responsible for the heat wave that struck Europe in 2003 [...]. The Fraction of Attributable risk is a way of measuring the contribution a particular factor makes to an outcome.
