Calculates the Population Attributable Fraction for (PAF) ALRI, COPD, IHD, lung cancer or stroke based on the percentage of population using non-clean stoves and the relative risk. Given the total mortality and incidence (or prevalence) rates of each disease the PAF estimates the share of these factors attributed to the share of solid fuel users [1].
- Parameters:
- rr: float
The relative risk of contracting ALRI, COPD, IHD, lung cancer and stroke.
- sfu: float
Solid Fuel Users. This is the percentage of people using traditional cooking fuels. This is read from the techno-economic specification file as fuels not being clean
- Returns:
- paf: float
The Population Attributable Fraction for each disease.
