Question

A county's health department estimates that of 65,000 adult residents, there are 975 individuals who were living with schizophrenia on the date when data were collected. Researchers estimate that 45 of these individuals were diagnosed within the past twelve months and that the average age at diagnosis was 20. What is the point prevalence of schizophrenia in this county on the day of data collection

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Point prevalence is proportion of population that has a condition at a particular time including people who acquired the condition during period prior to that time.

As per given data 975 out of 65000 were having schizophrenia on the date when data were collected

So point prevalence = 975 / 65 = 15 cases per 1000.
