National Firefighter Registry
- ... that the National Firefighter Registry will collect voluntary information for evaluating cancer risk factors for U.S. firefighters? Source: [1] [2]
- Reviewed: Surinder Singh Bakhshi
- Comment: The National Firefighter Registry is a program of NIOSH, so we have a COI on this article. We request an experienced reviewer to check the article for neutrality and other COI issues.

Overall: 
I tried to remove a lot of close-paraphrasing in the article and make it more neutral. But I'm still unsure if the hook is interesting enough. It just describes what the NFR does. Graearms (talk) 22:02, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

- ALT1: ... that the U.S. National Firefighter Registry is designed to improve cancer research by voluntarily collecting work history data that is not consistently recorded in state cancer registries?
Source: "However, little information about cancer patients’ work history is collected in these state cancer registries." [3], "Although NPCR cancer registries are required to collect industry and occupation (I&O) data, there is not a standard practice for collection of these variables... Often, these data may be missing, incomplete, lacking detail, and/or more likely to be ascertained in patients with cancers that have known association to occupational exposures (ie, differential misclassification)." [4]
- ALT1 is a bit too long and it, along with ALT0 it sounds a bit too much like an advertisement. I think a more neutral and more interesting hook might be:
- ALT2: ... that the CDC created a registry to collect data on cancer in firefighters?

Graearms (talk) 02:17, 4 October 2022 (UTC)- @Graearms: ALT1 is not too long, it is 188 characters. You specifically requested a hook that went beyond a simple description of what it is. John P.
