Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Behavioral and occupational factors can contribute to a host of health conditions, including both chronic and acute diseases. However, our understanding of these associations is often subject to limitations surrounding the validity and reliability of available measures, which are frequently based in part or fully upon self-report. Therefore, we invite you to contribute your research on health measures related to behavioral and occupational exposures to this Special Issue. We especially welcome studies that develop, evaluate, and/or implement novel measures; evaluate existing measures within novel settings or within specific populations; quantify the extent of misclassification that may occur with existing measures; or assess the impact of measurement choice on population health estimates. We encourage a variety of submissions including but not limited to quantitative studies, qualitative and mixed-methods studies, secondary data analyses, and systematic reviews, with an emphasis on measurement of behavioral and occupational exposures.
