| 摘要： | When the secret Project Shipboard Hazard and Defense (SHAD) testing program was made public in 2000, veterans reasonably wondered what impact their involvement in the testing might have had on their health. Following the release of the first Institute of Medicine (IOM) SHAD report in 2007, Congress requested that the IOM undertake a new epidemiological study of the potential long-term health effects of participation in the SHAD testing. Our committee, with expertise in epidemiology, occupational health, biostatistics, exposure assessment, toxicology, and Vietnam veterans’ health issues, was convened to examine this question, a role the committee took very seriously. Our careful review of published scientific literature on the agents, simulants, tracers, and decontaminants used in the tests, led us to formulate hypotheses on health effects that might be associated with exposure to six of these substances. We also undertook exploratory analyses to ensure that unanticipated associations would not be overlooked. |
