Sloane co-authors piece in health journal

Douglas M. Sloane, Ph.D., is one of three authors of "Hospital Nurses' Occupational Exposure to Blood: Prospective, Retrospective and Institutional Reports.'

The article was published in the January American Journal of Public Health. It concludes that injuries from needlesticks are more common than institutional reports suggest, and injuries do not occur at random. Nurses on 40 medical units in 20 hospitals, in cities with a high incidence of AIDS, were studied.

Sloane lives in Maryland and works for the Population Studies Center. He graduated from Newark High School in 1972. His mother, Peg Sloane, still resides in Newark.
