Executive Summary In this report, the Panel makes recommendations to improve the quality of the epidemiology program and its value to the Department of Energy, its workers, and the communities near its facilities. This summary contains the Panel's major observations and recommendations. Epidemiology provides a scientific evaluation of the health effects of worker and public exposures to potentially harmful materials. It uses health records, exposure records, environmental monitoring records, and personnel records to analyze health effects and to evaluate methods of protection and prevention. The Panel has distinguished between two types of epidemiology: descriptive epidemiology, which includes health surveillance; and analytic epidemiology, which tests hypotheses and often includes long-term research studies.
