IT IS clear that the problems of design I and analysis in epidemiological studies of long-term disease are so varied and complex that nothing short of a lengthy treatise could provide adequate coverage. Such a treatise has not yet been written, and its formulation is clearly outside the capabilities of an ad hoc committee meeting for a limited period. The committee has concerned itself, therefore, with a small number of rather general problems which appear to be recurring ones in this type of investigation. These are dealt with under two main headings: I. General Problems of Definition and Design, and II. Measurement Problems. The committee has also considered it necessary to confine its attention to those studies which are based on the clinical or pathological examination of individuals, thus omitting from consideration the types of studies based primarily on information secured by lay interviewers from household informants (morbidity surveys) and the types of studies based primarily on information from death certificates (mortality studies).
