The sites are:
Montgomery and Bucks Counties, PA
Gloucester County, NJ
Hoosick Falls, NY, and Newburgh, NY
El Paso County, CO
Parchment/Cooper Township, MI, and North Kent County, MI
Hyannis, MA, and Ayer, MA
communities near the UC Irvine Medical Center
The study will look at multiple endpoints, but not cancer. Nonetheless, we hope it will begin to answer the pressing health questions which concern these communities.
High rates of testicular, pancreatic, bladder and kidney cancer still plague these communities, and we need to come to grips with this.
