| This panel, with representatives from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and four states that conduct sentinel surveillance, will discuss work-related asthma and its relation to state asthma planning. The panel will include an overview of work-related asthma, review of five years of surveillance data from four states (NJ, MI, CA, MA), integrating work-related asthma into state-based plans and case studies. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to: 1. Describe the contribution of work-related asthma to adult asthma prevalence. 2. Identify characteristics of work-related asthma. 3. List agents associated with occupational asthma and work aggravated asthma. 4. Name occupations and industries identified by work-related asthma surveillance in several states. 5. Enumerate opportunities for integrating work-related asthma into state asthma planning. | |||
