Consider a hypothetical study of 1,000 young men ages 16-24. Only 35% of these young men wear seat belts when driving. The motor vehicle death rate in this population is 132 per 1,000 young men. A case-control study was conducted to determine the relationship between personality type and the risk of stroke in men. Cases and controls were both obtained from persons admitted to the hospital. The researcher was unaware of a participant’s case-control status at the time of the assessment of personality type. However, the researcher was not trained in the use of the personality type assessment tool. What is a potential concern with this study? a. Non-differential misclassification of exposure status b.Non-differential misclassification of outcome status c. Differential misclassification of outcome status d.Differential misclassification of exposure status
