MONICA Memo 402E - CONFIDENTIAL
Date: 20 December 2002
Initiated by: Kari Kuulasmaa
To: MONICA Principal Investigators (Electronic distribution list)
Action: For approval by 20 January 2003


Manuscripts on Estimating trends and seasonality in CHD and Increase in CHD on Mondays for approval for publication

Dear Friends,

I am pleased to submit two manuscripts,  written by Adrian Barnett and Annette Dobson for the WHO MONICA Project, for your approval according to the MONICA Publication rules:

The manuscripts are in the PDF format. You can open them with the Adobe Acrobat Reader, which most of you already have in your computers. If you do not have it, you can download it freely from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html. Both of the manuscripts are already written in the journals' styles, and may look like proofs, but they have not been submitted to the journals yet.

Please send your approvals as well as corrections to the list of relevant key personnel in your Centre using the forms in the internal MONICA WWW site, by 20 January 2003. If there is no reply from you by this date it will be assumed  that this indicates your approval. (The need for updating the lists of personnel for the MMC and the MSC have already been recorded, so there is no need to point these out.)

Please send any corrections and comments to the text to Adrian Barnett and Annette Dobson (e-mail: A.Barnett@sph.uq.edu.au and  A.Dobson@sph.uq.edu.au; mailing address: School of Population Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Queensland, 
Herston, QLD 4006, Australia; fax: +61 (0) 7 3365 5442 ).

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

Kari Kuulasmaa
Chief, MONICA Data Centre
