PREPARERS OF REPORT AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This project was designed, managed and reported by Edward Horn, NYS DOH, with financial support under the Cooperative Agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, Public Health Service, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The cooperation of numerous individuals was essential to its completion.

Robert Schmidt, Hudsonia Limited and Simon's Rock College of Bard, supervised the field effort, finding and training the interviewers, laboriously coding the data from this survey and the 1991-92 survey for computer entry and prepared an initial summary report of the data. Andy Mele, the Environmental Director of Clearwater, graciously supplied the original survey forms from the 1991-92 Clearwater survey of Hudson River anglers. The interviewers were Dawn Breault, Dee Cotherman, Tom Lake and Erin Sawyer.

Marta Gomez, NYSDOH, designed and created the data structure to facilitate analysis, supervised data entry and produced the dBase and SAS data files.

Syni-An Hwang, NYS DOH, supervised the statistical summary and analysis of the data conducted by Jean Munsie and Ying Wang. They also provide invaluable criticism and comment on early drafts of the report.

Judy Abbott, NYS DOH, prepared the figure. Pat Burl provided assistance in preparing the final report tables.
