OSTI ID:5157029

A Workshop was convened of all investigators with active projects on residential radon epidemiology known to the organizers. The studies reported on are located in the United States, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Finland, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, and the Peoples' Republic of China. The discussions were focused on issues of lifetime radon exposure assessment, design considerations for epidemiological studies, problems of statistical power and analysis of study data, including the possibility of pooling data from different studies for increased power. Another issue which was discussed was the relationship between the needs of policy makers and the capacity of epidemiological investigations to satisfy these needs.
