What are the Key Epidemiological Metrics to Measure ESC Effectiveness?
To assess the effectiveness of ESC, epidemiologists use several key metrics:
Incidence Rates: The number of new cases of crashes or injuries in a population of ESC-equipped vehicles compared to those without ESC. Relative Risk: The risk of being involved in a crash with an ESC-equipped vehicle versus a non-ESC-equipped vehicle. Attributable Risk: The proportion of crashes that could be prevented if all vehicles were equipped with ESC.
