Abstract:
:A standard method of collecting identifying data for medical follow-up studies has been developed by Statistics Canada. By helping improve health record-keeping, this method has the potential to make it easier to track populations exposed to potentially hazardous agents through lifestyle, work, environmental factors, ecological disasters, or medical treatments. The data collection package, which has been reviewed by expert groups and pilot tested, can reduce costs, save time and result in more comparable data. The package guides the user in developing an easily maintained and accessed database using either the Data Collection Package handbook or the personal computer package option. Part I of this article gives an overview of the new data collection package and how it can be used. Part II gives the background and methodological notes on its development.
