Malay Version of the ATS-DLD-78A Questionnaire for Detecting Respiratory Symptoms in Welders: Translation and Cross-Cultural Validation.

The role of the questionnaire in epidemiological and public health studies has received increased attention across a number of disciplines. In a respiratory study, the progress of research in cross-cultural settings is reflected in the systematic application of clinical and research data collection...

In a respiratory study, the progress of research in cross-cultural settings is reflected in the systematic application of clinical and research data collection that is quantifiable and reliable.
