Next-of-kin attitudes regarding participation in an epidemiologic case-control study.

L Heuser, R K Severson and T J Watson

Program in Epidemiology, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, WA 98104.

We assessed next-of-kin's attitudes about participating in an epidemiologic case-control study of adult acute nonlymphocytic leukemia. Responses from a mailed questionnaire indicated that 95 per cent were glad they participated. While 74 per cent benefited, 18.5 per cent were bothered in some way. Results concerning the need to obtain physician permission before contacting next-of-kin were inconclusive; however, 8 of 10 females contacted by the case's physician considered consent necessary.
