NIOSH has the responsibility to "conduct (directly or by grants or contracts) research, experiments, and demonstrations relating to occupational safety and health..." Since 1977, NIOSH has been developing methods and materials for the notification of subjects of its epidemiological studies. NIOSH involvement in notifying workers of past exposures relates to informing surviving cohort members of the findings of retrospective cohort studies conducted by NIOSH. Current policy within NIOSH is to notify subjects of the results of its epidemiologic studies. The Industrywide Studies Branch of NIOSH, Division of Surveillance, Hazard Evaluation, and Field Studies usually conducts 2 to 3 notifications per year, which typically require individual letters mailed to cohorts ranging from 200-20,000 workers each. To assess the effectiveness of the notification materials and to improve future communication of risk information, the evaluation instrument proposed (a reader response evaluation card) was developed for routine use.
