surveillance bias literature

["Chaffin, Mark J." <Mark-Chaffin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is anyone aware of studies that have examined or measured the extent of surveillance bias in child maltreatment recurrence data.  In particular, I'm interested in locating work related to surveillance bias for participants in home-visiting or other intervention programs, or analyses of the extent to which surveillance may impact intervention-control comparisons in outcome studies using maltreatment reports as outcomes.  I am aware of the Olds, et al. study related to this.  Any others?
