Description

We will examine racial disparities in occupational risk and lung cancer diagnosis between whites and blacks using the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) data. Occupational exposure is defined as a work history of at least 1 year in an industry listed as involving exposure to various chemicals, fumes, or dusts. These occupational exposures are categorized into 3 groups: 1) any exposure; 2) asbestos exposure; and 3) silica exposure (sum of coal, hard rock mining, sandblasting, foundry or steel mining). Descriptive analyses using Chi-square and multivariate logistic regression models will be presented.
