SUMMARY:A Research Update from the Agricultural Health Study: Recent Findings\, Current Work\, and Future Plans
DESCRIPTION:It has been over 25 years since participants first enrolled in the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) cohort; in 1993-97\, a total of 89\,655 individuals joined the study\, including 52\,394 private pesticide applicators (mostly farmers) and 32\,345 of their spouses from North Carolina and Iowa\, and 4\,916 commercial applicators from Iowa. The cohort has been followed through 3 surveys (1999-2003\, 2005-2010\, and 2012-2015) and regular linkages to databases to assess both cancer and non-cancer health outcomes\, such as respiratory\, autoimmune\, endocrine\, and neurological diseases. Participants provided detailed data on pesticide use and other agricultural exposures at enrollment and in the first two follow-up surveys\, and numerous research papers have investigated potential disease associations. Many participants have also contributed to special studies\, including recent projects on Lung Health\, Biomarkers of Exposure and Effect\, and Memory and Aging. This presentation will highlight a selection of recent findings from the AHS (i.e.\, in the past 5 years)\, including a focus on non-cancer outcomes as well as recent cancer and mortality findings\, and will describe current and future research priorities. \nAt the end of this webinar participants will be able to: \n\n An overview of the study design and the assessment of exposures and health outcomes\nScope of research and selected findings on non-cancer health outcomes\nHighlights of recent mortality and cancer findings\nDescription of current and future research priorities\n\n  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account. This free account allows you access to our many training opportunities. Once you have signed up\, you can watch this webinar on-demand. \n\n\n  \n Watch this webinar on-demand.
