Background Population Exposure Estimates

Background Population Exposure Estimates

This tool provides an estimate of the background exposure rates for particular food items or other exposures using case interview data. Two tools one using MN Salmonella case interview data and the other using MN STEC case interview data are included. Epidemiologists can use these frequencies in a binomial model comparison.
