| Abstract |
In the first of these two papers, methods for obtaining work and exposure history data are reviewed and their limitations with respect to exposure assessment are discussed. Problems with the exchange between an interviewer and the respondent and problems in conducting exposure assessments independent of interviewing are discussed and strategies designed to address these problems are presented. In the second paper, systematic procedures are suggested for evaluating occupational exposures in community-based case-control studies. The quality of the reported information and rater familiarity with the job are discussed. Development of an estimate of the probability is recommended and criteria for assessing exposures are identified. |
