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.

1. Under View Reports, in the Choose a Report section, select the Alcohol Attributable Fractions option.
2. Choose a location for the report by:
