Reliability of reported occupational history information for US coal miners, 1969-1977

Article Abstract:

Researches investigated the reliability of occupational histories reported by coal workers twice by separating them by 9 years. For 480 coal workers whose histories were recorded twice, the reliability factor was 87%. In epidemiological studies, the reproducibility of self-reported information is important to make certain the true exposure effect is not underestimated. It is also important that random variation in both the response and exposure be sufficiently small.
