While the relationship between pesticides and cancer has been studied extensively, many of these studies focus on subsets of the U.S. population with known exposures.

Question 1 of 5

Limitations of prior research on the link between pesticides and cancer include the following except:

Choose 1

A
Evaluating the association between pesticide exposure and cancer in farmers and their spouses, but not in the community
B
Evaluating the association between pesticide exposure and cancer in northern U.S. states, but not southern U.S. states
C
Evaluating the association between pesticide exposure and cancer on a county basis in western U.S. states, but only considering two cancer metrics (ie, pediatric and total cancer)
