Reporting of industrial accidents in the Netherlands

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine the true number of industrial accidents by absence from work in 1993 in the Netherlands. The statutory organization which insures employees against absence from work provided 19,397 cases of medical visits by occupational injuries. A government safety register provided 29,685 cases. Assuming these figures are independent and homogeneously distributed, researchers obtained an estimate of 97,909 accidents that were work-related.

A prospective cohort study on vegetable and fruit consumption and stomach cancer risk in the Netherlands

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to investigate the link between vegetable and fruit consumption and stomach cancer in Netherlands among 120,852 men and women aged between 55 and 69 years. The results revealed that vegetable and fruit consumption did not lead to stomach cancer in the Dutch population. The findings in this study mirror the results of similar studies conducted in other countries. However, they do not support the findings of case-control studies.

Validity of drug use reporting in a high-risk community sample: a comparison of cocaine and heroin survey reports with hair tests

Article Abstract:

The results of cocaine and heroin use based on survey reports showed discrepancies in the reporting when compared with hair samples. Cocaine use based on toxicologic results were five times the survey estimates. When cocaine use was established, hair samples showed higher levels of concentration then the survey indicated. Heroin use was less likely to be under-reported.
