st: calculating SMRs, examples?

["Raoul Reulen" <raoulreulen@hotmail.com>]

Hi there,

Are there any good websites or books out there that explain in detail how to 
calculate a standardized mortality ratio (SMR) with poisson regression using 
external rates? I find that the STATA manuals do not contain a lot of 
information regarding this topic, any suggestions?

Many thanks,

Raoul
