Terms of Clearance: OMB approval for the registry is granted contingent upon ATSDR/CDC agreement not to disseminate statistics describing those in the ALS registry until after the complete baseline (i.e., all cases from all four administrative data sources -Medicare, Medicaid, VHA, and VBA ) have been added to the registry. Clearance is also contingent on ATSDR/CDC’s commitment to always clearly articulate the lack of representativeness in the risk factor information that is collected via the self-administered questionnaire, thus the limitations that places on conclusions that might be drawn about associations.
