Work-Related Asthma: State-Based Surveillance
Work-related asthma: Number of cases by ascertainment source and state, 1993-2002
- indicates no cases reported.
* Massachusetts, Michigan, and New Jersey actively solicit reports from health care professionals; California uses an existing administrative data source to passively identify health care professional reports of work-related asthma.
† Some cases have been identified through death certificates, self reports, or reports from the Mine Safety and Health Administration or Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
Note: Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding. Hospital data may include hospital discharge data and emergency department visit data. See Appendix for information about data source and methods.
