Validity of self-reported night shift work among women with and without breast cancer

CONCLUSION: This study shows that female breast cancer patients had slightly better recall of previous night shift work than controls. Additionally, both breast cancer patients and controls recalled previous never-night shift work with low specificity. The net effect of this misclassification is a small over-estimation of the relative breast cancer risk due to night shift work.PMID:38329266 | DOI:10.5271/sjweh.4142
