Purpose: Scientific Committee 6–9 was established by the National Council on Radiation
Protection and Measurements (NCRP), charged to provide guidance in the derivation of …

Abstract National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements Commentary 27
examines recent epidemiologic data primarily from low-dose or low dose-rate studies of low …

Background Two distinctly different types of measurement error are Berkson and classical.
Impacts of measurement error in epidemiologic studies of ambient air pollution are expected …

We continue our review of issues related to measurement error and misclassification in
epidemiology. We further describe methods of adjusting for biased estimation caused by …

The primary aim of the epidemiologic study of one million US radiation workers and veterans
[the Million Worker Study (MWS)] is to provide scientifically valid information on the level of …

Dosimetic uncertainties, particularly those that are shared among subgroups of a study
population, can bias, distort or reduce the slope or significance of a dose response …

Factors contributing to the presence or absence of disease are not always easily determined
or accurately measured. Consequently epidemiologists are often faced with the task of …

Spatial modeling of air pollution exposures is widespread in air pollution epidemiology
research as a way to improve exposure assessment. However, there are key sources of …

Background: Thyroid dysfunction after exposure to low or moderate doses of radioactive
iodine-131 (131I) at a young age is a public health concern. However, quantitative data are …

In epidemiologic studies, association estimates of an exposure with disease outcomes are
often biased when the uncertainties of exposure are ignored. Consequently, corresponding …
