Record #:
29426
Abstract:
Data from 1997 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System showed deficits in cancer screening in North Carolina. This study focused on four site-specific cancers and occupational mortality. The results from death certificates highlight the potential for using the worksite to bring health promotion information and disease screening to North Carolina residents.
