Question

A recent study set out to investigate the association between cigarette smoking and age-related maculopathy (ARM), a fairly common disease and the leading cause of blindness among seniors in the US. Upon enrollment in the study, 1,230 participants aged 65 and older were asked to report whether they had a previous history of smoking, defined as smoking more than one pack of cigarettes in the past 20 years. The participants were then evaluated by their regular ophthalmologist for the development of ARM over the following five years. Which type of bias would occur in this study if ophthalmologists were likely to complete more frequent and thorough evaluations on their patients that have a history of smoking as opposed to those without a history of smoking? Group of answer choices Interviewer bias Surveillance bias Neyman’s bias Recall bias
