2017, Clinical Breast CancerCitation Excerpt :These variables are mainly covering important past or usual psychosocial aspects of the interviewee's life, about which self-reporting seems to be convincingly valid.60,61 Moreover, the type of control selection (referral hospital controls) will help in reducing the recall bias.62 The authors have stated that they have no conflicts of interest.
A comparison between self-reported and GIS-based proxies of residential exposure to environmental pollution in a case-control study on lung cancer
2014, Spatial and Spatio-temporal EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :Both methodologies suffer from possible errors. The collection of both exposure and disease data from questionnaires may be prone to so-called recall bias (Coughlin, 1990; Piro et al., 2008) and interviewer bias (Wynder, 1994), and this could lead to errors in risk estimations (Kuehni et al., 2006; Rugbjerg et al., 2011). In this sense, the use of GIS is a promising development since it yields more objective exposure readings.

2011, Journal of Sexual MedicineCitation Excerpt :However, the significant associations remained consistent throughout the different analyses, increasing the probability that they are true findings. We cannot exclude the possibility that our data are affected by reporting biases given the sensitive nature of the questions leading to some underestimation of sexual distress and FSD symptoms [34]. However, while our response rates might appear low (50%), they are in fact respectable relative to other epidemiological‐level sex surveys [32,35,36].
