Translations:Advanced Field Epi:Manual 1 - Disease Investigation/331/en

When investigating causal associations equal effort should be expended in searching for old records for the diseased and the non-diseased groups. If you're following farms or ponds which are exposed and not exposed to a suspect causal factor you must guard against checking the exposed groups twice as frequently or using more sensitive methods of disease detection in the exposed group. This is to avoid "diagnostic work-up bias".
