From 1997From -1998, the authors carried out Indiana's first statewide survey of noncommercial fish consumption. The research focused on the health of Indiana residents who were catching and consuming sport fish, because no baseline data were previously available on the issue. This article explores analysis options and problems associated with understanding health risks. The original data were reanalyzed based on current recommendations from state fish consumption advisories, which provided a threshold value of 30.24 grams per day. Attention is given to the results from two surveys used to identify angler groups at risk in the state. The data highlight the analysis potentials and limitations that can be overcome in future surveys.
