Abstract: The Agricultural Health Study (AHS) program staff is requesting approval of this revision to add a new dust specimen component to the ongoing Agricultural Health Study (AHS). AHS is a cohort study of 89,568 licensed pesticide applicators (both private and commercial applicators)and the spouses of the private applicators in Iowa and North Carolina that is to be followed for 20 years or more. The primary objective of the AHS study remains to be determination of the health effects resulting from occupational and environmental exposures in agriculture. This revision is to initiate and complete a new dust specimen component as part of the ongoing Study of Biomarkers of Exposures and Effects in Agriculture (BEEA). The dust component will include a brief paper-and-pen questionnaire mailed to the participant in advance of the home visit. At the home visit, the study phlebotomist will collect the participant's disposable vacuum bag (or empty the dust from vacuums without disposable bags). We are using similar procedures to ones that have been employed on other NCI studies to obtain information about the dust specimen and to collect and ship the dust specimen.
