Characteristics of respondents and non-respondents to a mailed questionnaire. 1980

J Barton, and C Bain, and C H Hennekens, and B Rosner, and C Belanger, and A Roth, and F E Speizer

In establishing a cohort of U.S. nurses, an assessment of response bias was made comparing respondents and non-respondents with regard to age, education, state of residence, employment status, field of employment, and major specialty. Overall, the 122,328 respondents (69.7 per cent) and 43,222 non-respondents were quite similar. Together with the reasonable response rate in a homogeneous population, this suggests that estimation of exposure-disease associations is unlikely to be affected by major bias due to non-response.
