It is becoming standard practice in epidemiology to adjust relative risk estimates to remove the bias caused by non-di!erential errors in the exposure measurement. Estimation of the correction factor is often based on a validation study incorporating repeated measures of exposure, which are assumed

The bias in relative risk estimates caused by errors in measurement of the relevant exposure is being increasingly recognized in epidemiology. Estimation of the necessary correction factor to remove this bias for univariate exposure has been considered in an earlier paper. We consider here the multi
Cancer morbidity was investigated in a cohort of 2,170 ethylene oxide (EO)-exposed workers from 2 plants producing disposable medical equipment The subjects had been employed for at least 1 year during the periods 1970-1985 and 1964-1985, respectively The exposure to EO was assessed for each of six
