In addition, at each biweekly home visit, we administered a short 10 15 min questionnaire to gather exposure information specific to pesticide exposures during the preceding 2 weeks.
The university partner wanted to carry out the test to gather exposure data, while the community partners did not want to produce results having uncertain interpretation.
Technological disasters strike unexpectedly and suddenly, which puts time-pressure on researchers to develop study protocols, gather exposure data, call in multidisciplinary experts, and obtain financial resources for immediate epidemiological research.
Street science, at its best, identifies hazards and highlights research questions that professionals may ignore, provides hard-to-gather exposure data, involves difficult-to-reach populations, and expands possibilities for interventions, resulting in "improved science and democracy".
Given that much of the evidence in the toxicological literature that documents the disruptive actions of various chemicals has been produced under a wide range of differing experimental circumstances, we wanted to assess the quality and relevance of data that were gathered for exposures discussed in this review.
This strategy was selected to permit expansion of the sample size within the time span of the study and gather more exposure information in this population.
Data were gathered on households' exposure to CHI campaign messages, and their relationship to knowledge and enrolment in the scheme.
We expected that age would be a strongly associated factor with knowledge since age reflects information gathered over repeated exposure to screening, life experiences, and educational opportunities.
To avoid such recall bias, we designed our study as a cohort study with all information about occupational exposure gathered from the mothers during their pregnancy before cryptorchidism could possibly be recognized.
