Adequacy of Survey Data Collected From Substitute Respondents

Abstract: This study examined interview data on personal habits (smoking, drinking and dietary histories) when collected from two sources. A sample of 300 pairs of subjects (mostly husbands and wives) was obtained from an ongoing health survey in Hawaii, and both members of each pair were interviewed separately about the habits of the husband. Care was taken that the members of each pair had no opportunity to communicate with each other between the start and completion of both interviews. The results showed remarkably g… Show more

“…There is always some incompleteness of reporting of cancer cases, as well as misclassification, both of (Kolonel et al, 1977). In any case, the most likely effect of such underreporting would be to decrease the differences in alcohol use between the ethnic-sex groups, which, in turn, would make less likely the discovery of significant associations with cancer incidence.…”

“…Adultos jovens, principalmente do sexo masculino, costumam ser subrepresentados em tais inquéritos, uma vez que nesse horário predominam donas de casa, crianças e idosos nos domicílios residenciais. 9 A superação dessa dificuldade pode ser feita com a realização de visitas domiciliares repetidas, em horário noturno, ou aos finais de semana. Entretanto, esse procedimento aumenta consideravelmente o custo, a necessidade de supervisão de campo e o tempo gasto na pesquisa.…”

“…However, as described previously, surrogates are able to accurately report smoking status and smoking duration. Although surrogates tend to over estimate rather than under report amount smoked [Hyland et al, 1997;Kolonel et al, 1977;Lerchen and Samet, 1986;McLaughlin et al, 1987;Rogot and Reid, 1975], it is unlikely that misclassification by a surrogate is likely to differ based on diesel exhaust exposure category.…”
