| Resumen |
In community-based studies, questionnaires are usually the sole source of information on occupational exposures. Three main categories of questions are presented, along with examples of appropriate questionnaires for each type. General questions elicit information on job history, tasks, and work environment in non-specific terms. Occupation-specific questionnaires obtain more detailed exposure information by detailing the tasks, processes, and materials associated with given professions or industrial activities. Questionnaires may also include exposure-specific questions in the form of checklists of materials and exposures. In order to maximise validity, it is recommended that they be developed and interpreted with the help of hygienists, be administered preferably by interview, include a detailed job anamnesis (general questions) to be followed by occupation or exposure-specific questions, and use a chemical vocabulary understandable by the subjects. |
