A number of issues inherent in the selection of friends as controls in case-control studies are illustrated in the light of a recent dietary study, based on hospital and friend controls.
Preselection of certain characteristics of the controls by the inter-viewee is almost unavoidable.

Advantages and drawbacks of potential control groups must be weighted against each other.
