| Title |
Methods of control for smoking in occupational cohort mortality studies |
| Bibliographic information |
June 1984, Vol.10, No.3, p.143-149. 30 ref. |
| Abstract |
Indirect control for the effects of smoking, using only existing data, can be exercised through analysis of other smoking-related causes of death besides the cause-of-death of primary interest, use of an internal reference group instead of the national population, adjustment of the excess risk based on hypothetical smoking habits, or analysis for a dose-response relation between occupational exposure and disease. Direct control, which requires interviews, may be exercised through a survey of the smoking habits of currently employed cohort members, a survey of all cohort members, or a "nested" case-referent study within the cohort. The choice of method depends on the cost and the degree of accuracy required by the investigator. |
