📢 The OCRC team is excited to share our new publication! Our paper, Impact of Interventions to Prevent Asbestos-Related Respiratory Disease in an Exposed Worker Registry Using a Simplified G-computation, has been published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.  

This study uses data from the Ontario Asbestos Workers Registry cohort to model the number of asbestos-related disease cases that could be prevented by further reducing asbestos exposure among workers in the construction trades.
