This study introduces a new multi-list method for population size estimation that does not require a single unique identifier across all data sources. The flexible approach enhances capture-recapture methodology for diseases like diabetes and HIV.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Biostatistics
  • Population Health

Background:

  • Capture-recapture methods are vital for estimating population sizes.
  • Existing multi-list methods assume a unique identifier across all data sources.
  • This assumption limits applications in human population studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel multi-list methodology that relaxes the unique tag assumption.
  • To provide a more flexible approach for population size estimation.
  • To enhance the application of capture-recapture techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a multi-list methodology using estimating functions.
  • Relaxed the assumption of a single, common tag across all lists.
  • Applied the method to estimate diabetes prevalence.

Main Results:

  • The new methodology successfully estimates population size without a common unique tag.
  • A simulation study assessed the robustness of the method.
  • The approach demonstrated reliability across various list and population sizes.

Conclusions:

  • The developed multi-list method offers a significant advancement in capture-recapture techniques.
  • This flexible methodology broadens the scope for estimating human population sizes.
  • It is particularly useful for prevalence estimation of conditions like diabetes and HIV.
