Retrospective Assessment of Military Occupations & Neurodegenerative Disease
The specific aims of this project are: (1) to develop exposure assessment methodology for collecting objective information about military occupations and exposures, and (2) to apply the newly developed methodology to determine whether military service is associated with ALS and PD in three completed population-based case-control studies conducted in Northern California and Western Washington State.
