this is something that in working with harvard we developed such a resource for in this case locomotive engineers and their spouses, but in doing that we worked very closely with a tight-knit community that they are to understand all the hurdles, everything that they would be concerned about and then built that into a continuous improvement process. so developing the data so when you're going through one of those, when you're trying to make even a strategic change in a particular segment of the population, you have that opportunity of really collecting some really good data. if you want to -- but if you're talking about the population in general, i think the first step you really need to do is legitimize the topic among the population. getting people to have the nomenclature, getting people to understand the issues, otherwise it's going to remain underground, and i think we heard, you know, today building it up in the medical community, building it up in the schools, building it up, you know, churches where people come and talk about their problems, you know, and have a place to come co
