Accuracy of LexisNexis-derived retrospective address histories in the Sister Study cohort
This study leverages LexisNexis to reconstruct detailed residential histories before cohort enrollment for nearly all Sister Study participants, creating a valuable resource for investigating the health effects of past environmental exposures. A subset of participants verified the locations and timeframes of a high proportion of addresses in the LexisNexis-derived histories, reinforcing confidence in their accuracy for the full cohort.
