Solution

To calculate a risk, the following steps must be taken:

  1. Define a case definition for the health outcome under study: This is important to ensure that all cases are identified in a consistent manner.

  2. Determine the number of new cases of the outcome under study: This will give you the numerator for your risk calculation.

  3. Define the at-risk study population: This is necessary to know the total number of individuals who could potentially develop the health outcome.

  4. Determine how many people in the study were exposed or unexposed to the exposure under study: This will allow you to compare the risk of the health outcome in those exposed versus those not exposed.

The number of males and females in the study is not necessarily required to calculate risk unless the risk is being calculated separately for males and females.
