"We have found the OCMAP software to be optimal for our analyses of occupational follow-up studies. We also routinely use OCMAP in preparing data for multivariable analysis using SAS. The enhancements added over the past 10 years have greatly facilitated our research."

"OCMAP with its interface to MPDS continues to be the most useful computational package for calculating standardized mortality ratios based on local, regional and national comparisons for virtually any cause of death. With its new Windows interface, OCMAP is also the most user-friendly of packages."

"OCMAP is reliable, sophisticated, up-to-date and relatively easy to use. I have not only been using it myself in all my cohort studies for the past 25 years, but also been recommending it to my colleagues and students in the US, Europe and China."

"OCMAP is an accurate and reliable program with many useful features. Some of the features I particularly like arethe module for checking cohort data errors, the well-documented output, the advanced functions for exposure-response analyses, the ability to work with time-dependent covariates and the flexibility in choosing age and calendar time strata for person-year calculations, which can be modeled to match available standard population rates."

"I have been an OCMAP user for 10 years. Data setup and analysis are more user-friendly and processing time is quicker with the latest release of OCMAP. These aspects plus top notch technical support make OCMAP-Plus for Windows the best software choice for occupational cohort analysis."
