1. Collect Data: Obtain the number of deaths and population data for the specific age group. This data is typically sourced from national health databases or vital statistics registries.
2. Apply the Formula: Use the ASMR formula to calculate the rate. For example, if there are 50 deaths in the 20-29 age group and the population of that age group is 100,000, the ASMR would be (50/100,000) x 100,000 = 50 per 100,000.
3. Annualize the Rate: If the data is collected over a period shorter than a year, annualize the rate to make it comparable across different time frames.
