Investigating Misclassification in Exposure to the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence Using a Birth Cohort Study

Résumé fourni par la source

This study aimed to investigate exposure to a major disaster by developing a more accurate representation of the exact exposure that individuals in a birth cohort experienced using geospatial data. Individuals were categorised by their residential and non-residential locations at the time of the disaster. Our results revealed that over two-thirds of individuals were misclassified when compared to using residential address as their sole point of exposure. We provide new insight into post-disaster exposure research where it is evident that the location in which an individual was at the time of disaster matters in determining ‘true’ exposure.
