NIOSH will hold a meeting of the World Trade Center Health Program Scientific/Technical Advisory Committee on June 4 in New York. The tentative agenda, NIOSH says, includes deliberation on specific questions related to addressing the need for research on developmental or health effects in children; developing robust and appropriate comparison groups to improve the validity and interpretability of WTC research; improving benefits counseling and psychosocial support for members serviced by the National Provider Network; and reviewing the program's ‘‘Research-to-Care’’ model.
