Validation of objective records and misreporting of personal radio use in a cohort of British Police forces (the Airwave Health Monitoring Study)

Where both objective and self-reported information were available, our study showed substantial misreporting in self-reported TETRA usage. Successful linkage of large numbers of TETRA users to objective data on their personal radios will allow objective assessment of TETRA radio usage for these participants and development of algorithms to correct bias in self-reported data for the remainder.
