SENSOR and National SOII data on the frequency of WR\u2010CTS cases identified many similar occupations and industries, and both surveillance systems pointed to computer use as a risk factor for WR\u2010CTS. Some high rate industries identified by SENSOR were not identified using National SOII rates even when national findings were restricted to take into account the distribution of the Massachusetts workforce.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Use of national SOII data on rates of WR\u2010CTS for identifying state industry priorities for WR\u2010CTS prevention should be undertaken with caution.
