RANDOM DIGIT DIALING IN SELECTING A POPULATION-BASED CONTROL GROUP
Abstract
Results are described from four epidemiologic studies in the United States which used random digit dialing in over 30,000 households to identify controls from the general population for use in case-control studies. Methods and problems in telephone sampling are discussed. It is concluded that if complete population rosters are unavailable and if the population to be sampled has the high rates of telephone ownership typical of much of the United States, telephone-based sampling can yield a nearly random sample of the individuals in a population, often at much less expense than can dwelling-based sampling.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
