ARDI uses alcohol-attributable fractions (AAF) to calculate the proportion of deaths that are attributable to alcohol. ARDI uses both direct estimates of alcohol-attributable fractions and indirect estimates of alcohol-attributable fractions. More detail regarding AAF can be found in the About ARDI - Methods page.
