On Jan. 28, 2008, President Bush signed H.R. 4986: National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2008 which requires ATSDR to develop a health survey of individuals possibly exposed to contaminated drinking water at Camp Lejeune that would collect: "...personal health information that may lead to scientifically useful health information associated with exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE), [tetrachloroethylene or perchloroethylene] (PCE), vinyl chloride, and the other contaminants identified in the ATSDR studies that may provide a basis for further reliable scientific studies of potentially adverse health impacts of exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune." The health survey will be mailed to everyone identified as having lived or worked at Camp Lejeune during the period of drinking water contamination. This includes anyone who registers with the US Marine Corps or ATSDR and those identified by computerized databases from the Defense Manpower Data Center or ATSDR. To have an unbiased sampling frame, the morbidity study population will consist of those identified by computerized databases who lived or worked at Camp Lejeune during the period of drinking water contamination. A comparison group is randomly sampled from Marines and civilian employees who were stationed at Camp Pendleton and not at Camp Lejeune during the period of water contamination.
