Document Description
The objective of this project is to conduct an epidemology study that will quantify the risk of swimming associated illnesses, and test indicators of that risk, at beaches polluted by nonpoint sources of fecal contamination. The study will be conducted using a prospective cohort design, in which swimmers (and nonswimmers) are monitored for water exposure while at the beach and surveyed for illness that occurs in the two weeks subsequent to their beach visit.
