How does the team at OccIDEAS ,
work with you ?
We specialise in prevalence studies investigating occupational exposure to cancer risk factors at the national level.
OccIDEAS has underpinned national prevalence studies on occupational exposure to cancer risk factors for countries of Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, and Spain.
Here are the steps involved.
Step 1. Design your study.
Determine sample size, sampling frame, recruitment approach and data collection method.
Step 2. Import the OccIDEAS Job questionnaires into your CATI system for your study interviewer team.
OccIDEAS has over 50 job questionnaires, such as office worker, firefighter, farmer, teacher, cleaner and driver.
Synchronisation tools (APIs) are used to transfer the questionnaires and keep the order and nesting of questions. APIs are currently available for Qualtrics, Voxco, IBM Dimensions and REDCap and others can be developed as required.
Step 3. Use our training material to train interviewers on how to allocate the right job module to each participant.
The aim is that each person is asked questions that specifically relate to their job (e.g. office worker, firefighter, farmer, teacher, cleaner, driver, etc).
Step 4. Run pilot study.
Step 5. Send the pilot study results to OccIDEAS for exposure assessment.
Using the API, the deidentified (but linkable) answers to questions are transferred to OccIDEAS.
Step 6. Exposure assessment is performed by OccIDEAS using our unique peer-reviewed assessment system.
Each participant receives an assessment of level of exposure to each of the study agents. We return the data to you in analysable form with explanatory notes. We also provide suggestions for the main study if necessary
Step 7. Collect data for the main study.
Step 8. Transfer the main study data to OccIDEAS.
Using the API, the deidentified (but linkable) answers to questions are transferred to OccIDEAS.
Step 9. OccIDEAS performs exposure assessment using our unique peer-reviewed assessment system.
We provide analysable data and explanatory notes.
