The present study would not have been possible without the support and foresight of Mrs Sheila Gray, Secretary of the British Nuclear Tests Veterans Association, who was authorized to make available the death notification information to the researcher and served as the primary contact with the sample throughout the morbidity and mortality studies. Ms Nicola Anderson, Mr Albert Baggs, Mrs Alison Cameron, Ms Gayle Cameron, Mr Don Cathcart, Ms Molly Gunn, Mrs Lorraine Hughes, Mrs Sharon Johnstone, Ms Angela Mason, Mr Neil McManus, Mrs Helen Mellows, Dr S. Pembe, Mr Edward Nandi, Dr Sadock Ntunaguzi, Mrs Grace Robertson, Dr Sarah Roff, Mr Chris Rowlands, and Mr Neil Stamper provided technical support for the collection and databasing of the material to the database and the literature retrieval. Lt. Col. Praorn Pimparyon and Dr Shaul Ben-David prepared the figures. The late Dame Catherine Cookson funded the Senior Research Fellowship at the Centre for Medical Education of Dundee University Medical School under the auspices of Professor Ronald M Harden, Director of the Centre for Medical Education and Postgraduate Medical Dean for the Eastern Region of Scotland. None of the above, of course, bears any responsibility for the interpretations placed on the data. Dr Douglas Holdstock has overseen the editorial process with his usual judicious eye. The printing costs to enable the report to be published in full were funded by The Samuel Rubin Foundation through the good offices of Ms Cora Weiss, and by Carol Bernstein Ferry. The work of Mary Holdstock in preparing the manuscript for the press and the comments of the external reviewers are also appreciated.
