Background: We have conducted a population-based study of pleural mesothelioma patients with occupational histories and measured asbestos lung burdens in occupationally exposed workers and in the general population. The relationship between lung burden and risk, particularly at environmental exposure levels, will enable future mesothelioma rates in people born after 1965 who never installed asbestos to be predicted from their asbestos lung burdens.
Methods: Following personal interview asbestos fibres longer than 5 µm were counted by transmission electron microscopy in lung samples obtained from 133 patients with mesothelioma and 262 patients with lung cancer.
Objectives: We conducted a randomized controlled trial of three screening approaches to assess relationship violence disclosure among young women as well as patient and provider satisfaction.
Methods: Reproductive healthcare patients (n=699) aged 15 to 24 years completed one of three approaches to violence screening, that is, basic, healthy relationship, and bidirectional. Screening was embedded in a comprehensive health history using an audio-assisted computer interview (ACASI).
