Can we trust cross-sectional studies when studying the risk of moisture-related problems indoor for asthma in children?Malin Larsson
Public Health Sciences, Karlstad University, Sweden
Int J Environ Health Res 21:237-47. 2011..Our results suggest that cross-sectional data showing associations between moisture-related problems in homes and asthma in children partly can be explained by reporting bias...
