Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 6 EBP 0830 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Absolute Risk
Captions available
The idea
Absolute risk is the probability of the outcome in a group: the number who had it, divided by the total in that group.
In practice
Three events among a hundred people, giving a risk of three in a hundred.
Where people slip
Risk divides by everyone in the group. That is what distinguishes it from odds.
