Risks are equal to the proportion of the number of cumulative cases at the indicated point in time divided by the total number of study participants at risk at that time.
Proximity to the oil spill is defined as living in, or adjacent to, a county or parish with coastline oiled during the spill.
The risks are weighted to account for confounders and predictors of censoring.
