DESCRIPTION: The Queens Ground Zero Worker Health Watch proposes a longitudinal assessment of the health of Ground Zero workers that is designed: a) to characterize changes in the health status and the development of new health conditions among Ground Zero and related workers, b) to provide Ground Zero workers with current state of the art knowledge, individually and in aggregate, about the health effects of working at Ground Zero, and c) to ensure appropriate referral and follow-up for health conditions that are detected in the screening program. The Queens Ground Zero Worker Health Watch proposes to serve as a Clinical Center for a minimum of 700 workers within the overall World Trade Center (WTC) Responder Health Consortium. The Clinical Center is conveniently located for the approximately 23percent of participants in the baseline screening program that live in Queens and immediately adjacent areas. The credibility and expertise of the Clinical Center proposed by Queens College is demonstrated by the baseline examination of 600 Ground Zero workers by Queens College as part of the WTC Worker and Volunteer Medical Screening program (2003-present); the medical screening of 415 day laborers/building clean-up workers near Ground Zero by Queens College in early 2002; and the national medical screening of 9,200 Department of Energy workers by Queens College in cooperation with PACE International Union between 1999 and 2004. Proposed mechanisms to minimize participant attrition and to maintain program loyalty over time will include a program newsletter, group educational sessions, and a WTC Worker Advocacy Group. In addition, Queens College has a demonstrated capacity to work collaboratively with other medical institutions, unions, the NYC Health Department, and other agencies that have been essential to the documentation of health effects of Ground Zero workers. Queens College, thus, anticipates that it will serve as a valuable clinical, scientific, and intellectual resource to Ground Zero workers and to the World Trade Center Responder Health Consortium.

产品说明： 皇后区归零地工人健康观察建议对归零地工人的健康进行纵向评估，其目的是：a）描述归零地和相关工作人员的健康状况变化和新的健康状况的发展，B）向归零地工作人员提供关于在归零地工作的健康影响的个人和总体最新知识，以及c）确保对在筛查方案中发现的健康状况进行适当的转诊和跟踪。皇后区归零地工人健康观察计划作为一个临床中心，在整个世界贸易中心（WTC）响应者健康联盟内至少有700名工人。该临床中心的位置便利，约23%的基线筛查计划参与者住在皇后区和紧邻地区。作为世贸中心工人和志愿者医疗筛查计划的一部分，皇后学院对600名世贸中心遗址工人进行的基线检查证明了皇后学院提出的临床中心的可信度和专业知识（2003年至今）; 2002年初皇后学院对世贸中心遗址附近的415名日工/建筑物清理工人进行了体检; 1999年至2004年，皇后学院与PACE国际联盟合作，对9 200名能源部工作人员进行了全国体检。 建议的机制，以尽量减少参与者的流失，并保持计划的忠诚度随着时间的推移将包括一个计划通讯，小组教育会议，和一个世贸中心工人倡导小组。此外，皇后学院已证明有能力与其他医疗机构，工会，纽约市卫生局和其他机构合作，这些机构对记录归零地工人的健康影响至关重要。因此，皇后学院预计，它将作为一个宝贵的临床，科学和智力资源，归零地工人和世界贸易中心响应健康财团。
