Flexible Two-Phase studies for rare exposures: Feasibility, planning and efficiency issues of a new variant
2008
The two-phase design consists of an initial (Phase One) study with known disease status and inexpensive covariate information. Within this initial study one selects a subsample on which to collect detailed covariate data. Two-phase studies have been shown to be efficient compared to standard case-control designs. However, potential problems arise if one cannot assure minimum sample sizes in the rarest categories or if recontact of subjects is difficult.
