EXPOSURE FOR DIFFERENT LICENSE CATAGORIES THROUGH A PHONE SURVEY: VALIDITY AND FEASIBILITY STUDIES
This paper presents: (i) an operational definition of risk exposure, (ii) a questionnaire developed to measure exposure, (iii) validity studies of estimates of the distance traveled and time spent driving for different permit holder categories, and (iv) a feasibility study for a telephone survey on exposure. Results show that long-distance truck drivers from one company studied estimated accurately their distance driven on the last worked day; Montreal Urban Community Transport Commission bus drivers estimated well their time behind the wheel; while a convenience sample of private car drivers (coworkers and friends) estimated well their previous week distance and time on the road. Phone surveys appear to be an efficient and cost-effective method for risk exposure data collection.
