How often will study participants be contacted?
As the study progresses, study members will be re-contacted to update their health and occupational status or clarify the information they have previously given. This is customary in all long-term studies. Future contacts may include additional questionnaires or special studies that focus on specific farm or pesticide application practices or that focus on a particular health concern. Participation in future studies is entirely voluntary, although we hope that study members will recognize the importance of the information learned and be willing to continue to assist us in this important research effort.
