Occupational and Environmental Health Research Projects: A Descriptive Catalogue
Abstract
This report briefly describes over 100 long-term medical follow-up studies covering topics over the complete life cycle including most age groups and diseases. The research projects examine delayed health outcomes in relation to occupational, environmental, lifestyle, medical and socio-economic factors.
This inventory of projects carried out since 1978, searchable by themes, will
aid in determining earlier research completed using record linkage plus national
birth, cancer and death databases for Canada. It outlines the agencies involved,
the main investigators at the time of the work, the size of the study population,
and provides citations to published findings. This report will be useful for
those who make or influence policies, regulations and medical guidelines, and
carry out research that affects the health of the population at the industry,
community, regional, national or international level.
