在无法获得更具体的信息时，使用职业作为工作场所暴露的替代品是常见的，但在涉及许多不同职业的研究中尤其具有挑战性。一个分类计划，聚合工人的基础上类似的工作任务和潜在的风险开发用于在加拿大的研究，其适应类似的美国的研究。56个职业类别和1980年美国人口普查职业和行业代码用于创建每一个。该计划是利用两个有限的研究人群中的职业和行业分布情况制定的，在编制过程中没有进行接触测量。然而，将具有类似暴露的工作汇总在分析大量具体职业方面具有实际效用，每个职业的工人人数很少。因此，该方案可以提供一个起点，研究人员面临这一任务的病例对照职业数据的分析。(C)1995年Wiley-Liss，Inc.
The use of occupation as a surrogate for workplace exposures when more specific information is unavailable is common yet is particularly challenging in studies involving many diverse occupations. A classification scheme that aggregates workers based on similar job tasks and potential exposures was developed for use in a Canadian study, and its adaptation for a similar U.S. study is described. The 56 occupational categories and 1980 U.S. census occupation and industry codes used to create each are presented. The scheme was developed using the distribution of occupations and industries in two limited study populations, and no exposure measurements were taken in its preparation. However, the aggregation of jobs with similar exposures has practical utility in the analysis of a large number of specific occupations, each with a small number of workers. As a result, the scheme presented can provide a starting point for researchers facing this task in the analysis of case-control occupational data. (C) 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
