universe of 375) from the dry cleaners’

local labor union. A separate population

of 100 former dry cleaning workers

randomly selected from a cohort list of

approximately 226 surviving women

dry cleaners in a NIOSH cohort

mortality study will provide descriptive

data only and will not be included in

the data analysis of the primary group

of currently employed dry cleaners. All

study participants will be mailed a

packet of risk information from NIOSH,

along with a letter of endorsement of the

study from the local union in New York,

encouraging participation in the study.

The risk information packet will include

the NIOSH mortality study results as

well as other information about cancer

and cancer screening, with a special

emphasis on cervical cancer screening.

Brief (15-minute) telephone

interviews will follow the mailed

notifications to workers and will be

used to evaluate (1) the effects of an

intervention (mailed written notification

materials) on post-intervention cervical

cancer screening behaviors; and (2) the

effects of a reminder message mailed six

months after the initial notification.

The effect of the first intervention will

be measured by comparing the pre-and

post-intervention screening behaviors

for the year prior to the intervention.

The effect of the second intervention

will be evaluated experimentally (using

a control group), measuring the

screening behaviors from the time of the

reminder letter to the Time-2 interview

6 months later, compared to the

screening behaviors at the Time-1

interview. These intervention

evaluations will address barriers to

cervical screening and also will allow

insight into the following questions:

1. Does the outreach message have a

long-term impact concerning the use of

cancer screening services (message

retention and actual screening

behavior)?

2. Does receiving a screening

reminder affect message retention and

actual screening behavior?

collection is 253.3 hours.
