Abstract
Population health analysts are in the process of designing new questions for surveys. Environmental radioactivity measurements and human surveillance are linked by health effects. Lung cancer from radon kills some 15,000 Americans each year. What does the general population know or care about this? What relevance do survey instruments and probes have in their lives.
