This document outlines a session to design an occupational exposome study, where participants will break into groups to plan how to set up a study investigating health risks among offshore workers. The groups will consider what information, measurements, and biobanking should be included in the study, and estimate the overall cost. After working for an hour, each group will present their plan for 30 minutes, followed by general discussion and a coffee break.

exposome study

PDC Session: The exposome and exposure in the workplace

2. Summary…
Ÿ In this session we will work in three groups
Ÿ We have about an hour to work on the design
for an occupational exposome study
Ÿ We’ll then have 30 minutes for each group to
present their plans and for more general
discussion
Ÿ And then coffee

3. Imagine your self in an idyll…

6. This is a real opportunity…
Ÿ We would like to design an occupational
exposome study to enable us to investigate
health risks amongst the offshore workers
Ÿ Think about how you would set this up
Ÿ What information do you need to collect?
Ÿ What would you measure?
Ÿ What would you biobank?
Ÿ What else can we collect?
Ÿ How much is this going to cost?
