The Keokuk County Rural
Health Study has completed two rounds of data collection
since funding began in 1990. Members of 1,000
households, comprising approximately 2100 men, women,
and children have completed medical screening, in-person
interviews, and environmental assessments in their homes
and on their farms. To date, 43 manuscripts based on
study data have been published in peer-reviewed
journals, an additional manuscript is in press, and 21
sub-studies, using the KCRHS study population or data,
have been initiated by outside investigators.
Round 3 data collection began in December 2006 and will
continue until we have enrolled 750 households. As in
Rounds 1 and 2, through medical screening, in-person
interviews, and environmental assessments, we are
collecting data on respiratory disease, injuries,
hearing and vision impairment, and neurobehavioral
outcomes. We will assess these outcomes in relation to
agricultural and other occupational exposures. |
