• Description:
  The Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics (AOEC) developed a national surveillance database in 1991 to capture newly diagnosed cases of occupational and environmental illnesses and chronic injuries seen at AOEC member clinics. The Occupational and Environmental Disease Surveillance Database (Database) has been supported in part by multi-year cooperative agreements with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) since its inception. In addition, AOEC member clinics, clinicians and staff have volunteered time and effort to contribute case report data to the project and to provide, along with the AOEC Board of Directors, direction and oversight to the Database. Since the founding of AOEC in 1987, the Association has grown to a network of more than 60 clinics and greater than 250 individual members committed to improving the practice of occupational and environmental medicine through information sharing and collaborative research. The chief long term goal of AOEC is to facilitate the prevention and treatment of occupational and environmental illnesses and injuries through collaborative reporting and investigation of health problems. The first extensive report on the AOEC Database, "Summary of AOEC Database Case Reports, the First Three Years: 1991-1993", was released in September 1995. The report summarized 2,774 cases that had been reported by the AOEC clinics to the Database. The second report described 3,080 occupational and environmental illness and occupational injury cases diagnosed during the time period of 1994-1996. The third report reviewed the 3,929 cases reported to the database from 1997 to 2000. This current report analyzes 2,215 cases in the Database that cover the time period from 2001-2004. This report also identifies trends based on data from 1991 - 2004. [Description provided by NIOSH]
