Hey rainbow-ga,

We're looking for current figures (please cite sources) on:

1. How many people suffer computer-related injuries in the US?
(Conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, RSI and tendonitis)

2. How many new injuries occur per year?

3. How many people suffer general work-related injuries? (Any / all conditions)

4. How many of these injuries occur per year?

Request for Question Clarification by rainbow-ga on 03 Dec 2003 10:52 PST

Hi leftright,

After working on your question most of the day, I have realized that
the information you are asking is not easily available.

I suggest you close the 2 questions directed to me and open new ones.
I'm certain there are researchers who are better qualified to answer
these questions.

Meanwhile, I have located some useful sites for you to go through
which I will list below.

I wish I could have been more helpful.
