The PARPs were calculated using simulation methods to generate individual-level predicted probabilities of the outcome disorders twice from the coefficients in the best-fitting model: the first time using all the coefficients in the model (probability of the disorder in those exposed to CAs) and the second time assuming that the coefficients associated with the CAs were all zero (probability of the disorder in those unexposed). One minus the ratio of the predicted prevalence estimates in the 2 specifications was then used to calculate PARP.
