Question

Suppose that you are following a group of children for the development of asthma over a 1-year period. You identify 100 children on January 1st, screen them for asthma, and set up a monitoring program to check on their status on a monthly basis. Five children are considered prevalent cases because they were diagnosed with asthma before January 1st. Ten children develop asthma on March 1st, and another 10 children develop asthma on July 1st. Another 10 children who remain healthy were followed for 6 months and then were lost to follow up. All of the remaining children did not develop asthma and were not lost to follow up. Follow up ended on December 31st. What was the incidence rate of asthma in this population for the 1-year period? You should provide two answers here. One response for cases and one response for person-months.
