| Summary | This study contributes to the growing body of literature dedicated to understanding geographic variation of ALS. Specifically, this study sought to identify whether ALS incidence clusters geographically and to determine whether that risk varies by area-based socioeconomic status. While ALS incidence varied across and within counties, they located statistically significant geographic clusters; however, higher socioeconomic status was associated with ALS incidence. |
