Description

The number and street address or the rural mailing address of the follow-up contact's current usual residence. This can be used to generate a follow-up inquiry, and must correspond to the other fields in the follow-up contact address. If the patient has multiple tumors, Follow-Up Contact--No&St should be the same for all tumors.



U.S. addresses should conform to the USPS Postal Addressing Standards. These standards are referenced in USPS Pub. 28, November 2000, Postal Addressing Standards. The current USPS Pub. 28 may be found and downloaded from the following website: http://pe.usps.gov/cpim/ftp/pubs/Pub28/pub28.pdf.


Canadian addresses should conform to the Canada Postal Guide. The current Canadian Postal Address standards may be found at the following website: http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pg/manual/default-e.asp.



Rationale

Sometimes registries carry out follow-up by contacting the patient and other contacts by a letter or phone call to ascertain their vital status. When a patient's current address is unknown or the patient is for some reason not to be contacted (e.g., patient is a minor child), the most current name, address and phone number of another contact, such as a relative or neighbor are needed. This information may also be useful for conducting research studies.





  Note: Prior to Version 5, Follow-Up Contact fields may have been used for patient current address in the NAACCR record layout.
