Publications List for Health Professionals (1981)

This document is not a research study. It is a National Cancer Institute (NCI) catalog of free publications, dated October 1981, in two parts: one list for health professionals and one for patient and public audiences. It reports no research methods, data, or findings on asbestos or any other subject. Two entries concern asbestos. The professional list includes "Asbestos and Health: An Annotated Bibliography of Public and Professional Education Materials" (publication number 81-1842). It is one of a set of bibliographies produced by the Cancer Information Clearinghouse that list educational materials from many sources. The public list includes a booklet, "Asbestos Exposure: What It Means, What to Do" (78-1594). The catalog describes it as answering questions about asbestos risks, use of asbestos and potential exposure, detection and treatment of asbestos-related diseases, smoking, Federal agencies concerned with asbestos exposure, and where to find more information. The catalog gives only these short descriptions. It does not give the content of either publication. The rest of the catalog covers other cancer topics, such as smoking, breast cancer, DES, and survival statistics.
