A New Framework for Improving Miners´ Health
This study will present findings from a new project in the NIOSH Spokane Mining Research Division to establish an evidence-based framework for improving miners health by making effective use of existing health data. The NIOSH findings regarding health status, health disparities, health risk factors and demographics of mining workers will be discussed.

Birth Defects and Maternal Work as a Nail Technician or Hairdresser During Pregnancy — National Birth Defects Prevention Study, 1997–2011
There are about 400,000 nail technicians and 600,000 hairdressers in the United States. NIOSH researchers wanted to better understand birth defects among nail technicians and hairdressers compared to those among mothers who work as noncosmetologists. The National Birth Defects Prevention Study (NBDPS), is a large multicenter, population-based case-control study of birth defects. Data from interviews with 43,106 mothers from this study was analyzed. Job descriptions reported by mothers that participated in NBDPS were used to identify hairdressers, nail technicians, and noncosmetologists during early pregnancy (the period from one month before conception through the third month of pregnancy). In this session, industrial hygienists will: 1) learn about the process of retrospective exposure assessment and classification, and 2) understand which classes of birth defects were associated with nail technician, hairdresser, and combination nail technician-hairdresser work.
