考虑到工业卫生员的其他职责，流行病学研究中的数据需求似乎是巨大的。然而，这种类型的调查所需的许多数据已经被收集用于其他暴露评估目的。为了加深对这一概念的理解，确定了进行暴露评估的主要目的所需的数据。其目的包括确定合规性；实施工业卫生计划，如个人防护和呼吸设备、危险通信培训和医疗监测；调查健康投诉和工人关切；调查任务或工程控制有效性；调查有毒侵权或工人赔偿索赔；以及进行流行病学研究。然后描述了一个全面的暴露评估系统，该系统结合了所有这些目的所需的数据，包括流行病学研究。然后描述了流行病学研究的数据需求以及如何使用数据，并用已发表的流行病学研究中的例子进行了说明。
Data needs in an epidemiologic study can appear to be substantial in light of the other responsibilities of an industrial hygienist. Many of the data needed for this type of investigation, however, are already collected for other exposure assessment purposes. To increase understanding of this concept, the data needs for the major purposes for conducting an exposure assessment are identified. The purposes include determining compliance; implementing industrial hygiene programs, such as personal protective and respiratory equipment, hazard communication training, and medical surveillance; investigating health complaints and worker concerns; investigating tasks or engineering control effectiveness; investigating toxic tort or worker compensation claims; and conducting epidemiologic studies. A comprehensive exposure assessment system is then described that incorporates the data needs for all these purposes, including epidemiologic studies. The data needs of epidemiologic studies and how the data are used are then described and illustrated with examples taken from published epidemiologic studies.
