Summary:
This research will explore important issues of measurement errors in quantifying
exposures and their effects on risk estimates in epidemiologic studies.
Significance:
This research will benefit future epidemiologic studies by: (1) developing and
exploring methods to assess the measurement of radiation doses, (2) developing
methods for analyzing exposure data from different sources, and (3) evaluating
current methods and developing new ones for incorporating of measurement error
estimates for radiation doses into risk estimates.
