Terms of Clearance: Prior TOC continue to apply: This collection is approved consistent with the understanding that ATSDR will not be disseminating any prevalence or incidence estimates based solely on the registration component of the Registry. Rather, registration results will be combined with administrative record results prior to dissemination of prevalence rates. Furthermore, any research based on registry data should highlight what is known about its lack of representativeness due to its self-selected nature. ATSDR endeavors to improve both the completeness and representativeness of the data over time.

ATSDR endeavors to improve the completeness, representativeness, and accuracy of the Registry data over time. This revision adds an organized sports participation survey, and 2 additional questions to the registration form.
