Abstract
OBJECTIVES
This study examined the frequency of requests that state health departments investigate cancer clusters, the nature of those requests, and the resources available for the investigations.
METHODS
A mail survey was sent to state health departments requesting data for 1997.
RESULTS
Approximately 1100 cluster investigation requests were made in 1997. Most requests were made by citizens, and no pattern emerged for types of cancer or hazards suspected. States rate this work as average in importance and feel satisfied with the successfullness of their communication efforts.
CONCLUSIONS
Few cluster inquiries require further investigation. Nonetheless, this interaction represents resources well spent in terms of public service and education.
摘要
目的
本研究调查了州卫生部门对癌症聚集区进行调查的请求频率、这些请求的性质以及可用于调查的资源。
方法
向州卫生部门发送了一份邮件调查问卷，要求提供1997年的数据。
结果
1997年大约收到了1100份聚集区调查请求。大多数请求由公民提出，对于怀疑的癌症类型或危害没有呈现出特定模式。各州认为这项工作的重要性一般，并对其沟通工作的成效感到满意。
结论
很少有聚集区调查需要进一步深入调查。尽管如此，就公共服务和教育而言，这种互动所投入的资源是值得的。
