0. NO

1. YES


QIntro.4) STUDY PURPOSE – IF NEEDED


It’s a long-term study designed to follow farmers and their families over a period of time to study protective aspects of health and possible factors of disease. Various diseases among farm families, which are of interest to scientists in this and other countries, are being studied, including the incidence of cancer. You completed a questionnaire for us either at a pesticide certification site, over the phone, or by mail several years ago.

1. CONTINUE


QIntro.5) The reason I’m calling today (tonight) is to update your information. The questions deal with your pesticide use and general health information. The interview usually takes 35 minutes to complete and we appreciate all the time you have given to help with this study.

QIntro.6a) Even though you are no longer farming, your information is still very important to us. Many of the diseases we are studying, such as cancer, may be due to exposure that occurred many years ago. This means we need to look well into the past to study the causes of these diseases. Also, since we are studying many types of exposures - not just farm exposures - it is important for us to obtain information even after you quit farming. Would you be willing to participate?
