Smoke Exposure of Women and Young Children in Highland Guatemala: Prediction and Recall Accuracy
In order to measure accurately indigenous Guatemalan women and young children's exposure to smoke from cooking fires, three techniques were compared: 1) observation; 2) recall 24 hours later based on duration of activities; and 3) recall 24 hours later based on the time each activity started and stopped (elapsed time). To measure recall accuracy, 43 women and their children under two years were observed during meal preparation and consumption, an…

In addition, it was found that early maturers get married earlier in …
