3. Below are some crude cause-specific mortality rates from the two studies. Crude mortality rate per 100,000 person-years 1988-1993 2003-2008 Drug Overdose 80.7 242.1 Substance Use Disorder 54.8 109.5 HIV Disease 280.0 84.0 Using both relative and absolute measures of association, compare the three cause-specific mortality rates for the 2003-2008 and 1988-1993 study populations. Use the 1988-1993 study population as the referent group. State in words your interpretation of each of these measures. 4. Do the demographic characteristics of the two study populations influence your interpretation of these crude measures of association? Why or why not? Below are some crude mortality rates from the 2003-2008 study among 25-44 year old men and women. Crude mortality rate per 100,000 person-years 25-44 Year Old Men 25-44 Year Old Women Drug Overdose 346.9 172.6 Substance Use Disorder 90.5 43.1 HIV Disease 79.2 43.1 5. Using the relative measure of association, compare the three cause-specific mortality rates among men to that among women (i.e., use women as the referent group). State in words your interpretation of each of these measures. 6. What is the main advantage of limiting the male-female comparisons to 25-44 year olds?

In order to derive a standardized mortality ratio for a given year for Los Angeles, California you would need the age-specific population for Los Angeles, ... (select one best answer) Group of answer choices the number of deaths during the year in Los Angeles and the age-specific death rates for California. the number of deaths during the year in Los Angeles and the age-specific death rates for Los Angeles. the number of cases during the year in Los Angeles and the age-specific case-fatality rates for Los Angeles. the number of cases during the year in Los Angeles and the age-specific case-fatality rates for California.

17) You have calculated the crude and age-adjusted mortality rates for City C and City D, and obtained following rates (per 1000 population).In bullets: Interpret these results. What can you say about age specific rates in these cities? (5 points). Rate (per 1000) City C City D Crude death rate 8.1 8.0 Age-adjusted death rate 7.0 15.0 18) In questions 16 and 17: Are some populations with a similar age structure as the standard population? Why or why not? (5 points).
