When to Use Cases per Million

Cases per million is a useful metric for comparing health statistics across different regions or populations of varying sizes. It helps normalize data so that comparisons can be made meaningfully.

Example Uses

  • Comparing disease rates between countries with different population sizes
  • Tracking disease trends over time within a single region
  • Evaluating the effectiveness of public health interventions
  • Public health reporting and communication to the community

Important Notes

Remember that this calculation provides a rate, not an absolute number of cases. It's particularly useful for understanding the relative risk or burden of disease in different populations.
