A recently developed source of occupational mortality data from 28 states for the years 1979 through 1990 can be used to meet goals for the surveillance of women's work-related diseases. A proportionate cancer mortality ratio analysis is used to illustrate use of the data to address the goals of identifying previously unrecognized work-related disease and targeting consultation or health promotion programs to appropriate occupations. Strengths of the data include broad geographical coverage and coverage of all causes of death and numerous industries and occupations. The data set is current and very large, with annual additions. The data have certain limitations. Death certificate information collected regarding occupation and cause of death may not be accurate; furthermore, death certificates have little information on potential confounding factors, such as smoking.
最近开发的1979年至1990年28个州的职业死亡率数据来源，可用于实现监测与妇女工作相关疾病的目标。比例癌症死亡率分析用于说明如何利用这些数据来实现识别先前未被认识的与工作相关疾病的目标，并将咨询或健康促进项目针对适当职业。这些数据的优势包括广泛的地理覆盖范围、对所有死因以及众多行业和职业的覆盖。数据集是最新的且非常庞大，每年都有新增。这些数据有一定局限性。关于职业和死因收集的死亡证明信息可能不准确；此外，死亡证明关于潜在混杂因素（如吸烟）的信息很少。
