Truckers Trailed By Risky Behaviors: Study Quote: FRIDAY, Oct. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Prevention programs for long-distance truck drivers may help reduce risky behavior that can lead to sexually transmitted infections (STIs), HIV and hepatitis C, say U.S. researchers. The researchers stationed mobile clinic vans at a trucking terminal in Albuquerque, N.M., and at 10 truck stops throughout the state. Of the 652 truck drivers who took part in the study, 54 (8.5 percent) tested positive for hepatitis C. Alcohol consumption is a strong independent risk factor for the progression of hepatitis C-associated liver disease[/color], the researchers noted. This risk factor could be reduced through patient education and behavior change, they said.[/color] Overall, the findings highlight a need for hepatitis screening and STI risk reduction among long-haul truckers. "Our results suggest that drivers may benefit from HIV, STI and hepatitis prevention interventions embedded within comprehensive wellness programs that are convenient and easily integrated into the mobile environment of the trucking industry," the researchers concluded. http://health.usnews.com/articles/he...ors-study.html

Now how the hell are they gonna do that? Have a nursemaid ride along with us? And they're basing actions off one ridiculously incomplete and poorly done study? Even the scientists are getting dumber. __________________ The best way to rob a bank is to own one.
