阿巴拉契亚中部露天采矿对不良出生结果影响的研究方案
Protocol for a Study of the Effect of Surface Mining in Central Appalachia on Adverse Birth Outcomes
摘要：
露天开采已成为阿巴拉契亚中部煤炭开采的主要方法，与传统的地下开采并列。人们对这种地表采矿的健康影响表示关切，特别是山顶移除采矿，即通过砍伐森林和炸药移除山顶，在陡峭的山顶上开采煤炭。我们设计了一项匹配的观察性研究，以评估阿巴拉契亚中部地表采矿对不良出生结局的影响。本方案描述了研究的背景和动机、样本选择和分析计划。
英文摘要：
Surface mining has become a major method of coal mining in Central Appalachia alongside the traditional underground mining. Concerns have been raised about the health effects of this surface mining, particularly mountaintop removal mining where coal is mined upon steep mountaintops by removing the mountaintop through clearcutting forests and explosives. We have designed a matched observational study to assess the effects of surface mining in Central Appalachia on adverse birth outcomes. This protocol describes for the study the background and motivation, the sample selection and the analysis plan.
