Comparison of methods for obtaining occupational exposure information in a case-control interview study. Two indirect methods for linking occupation and industry of employment with specific exposures and directly reported occupational exposure information were compared using data from a population-based case-control interview study of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Exposures suspected of being associated with increased risk of chronic lymphocytic leukemia were examined using a job-exposure matrix developed by Hoar et al. and a linkage system based on data collected in the National Occupational Hazard Survey conducted in 1972-1974 by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health. Concordance of exposure determination for the two occupation-exposure linkage methods was quite variable. In general, correlation was fairly low, although it was better for some of the exposures studied (butadiene and asbestos, for which most kappas were 0.40 to 0.60) than for others. Correlation between the two approaches was particularly poor for carbon tetrachloride and benzene (kappas ranged from 0.01 to 0.12). Higher proportions of cases and controls directly reported exposure to benzene and asbestos than was determined using the two more indirect methods, neither of which showed consistently greater correlation with direct reporting.
