    Mail and home interviews provide comparable occupational history data for epidemiological studies. While most information quality is similar, discordant items show benefits from both interview methods, enhancing data reliability.

    Area of Science:

    • Epidemiology
    • Occupational Health
    • Survey Methodology

    Context:

    • Population-based case-control studies investigate disease etiology.
    • Occupational history is crucial for understanding environmental and workplace exposures.
    • Previous research utilized in-home interviews for data collection.

    Purpose:

    • To compare the quality of information obtained through mail questionnaires versus in-home interviews.
    • To assess the reliability of occupational history data collected via different survey methods.
    • To evaluate data consistency for subjects previously interviewed at home and for non-respondents.

    Summary:

    • A mail questionnaire on occupational history was sent to 50 subjects previously interviewed at home and 26 non-respondents.

  • Response rates were 83% for the previously interviewed group and 14% for non-respondents.
  • Information quality was comparable for 78% of items; discordant items showed mixed results, with 50% favoring home interviews and 50% favoring mail interviews.

    • Impact:

    • Findings suggest mail questionnaires are a viable alternative for collecting occupational history in epidemiological research.
    • The study highlights the comparability of data quality across different interview modes.
    • Results inform methodological choices for future case-control studies, potentially improving efficiency and reach.
