- Follow Up
- Follow-up resurveys are done every 2 years using a mailed, self‐administered questionnaire. These questionnaires update information on exposures and also capture self-reported cancer incidence. Ongoing cancer incidence follow-up for the CPS-II Nutrition Survey cohort is conducted by validating self-reported incidence cancers using medical records or linkage with state cancer registries.
