Janet Daling

Janet R. Daling is an American epidemiologist. She is a member emeritus of the Public Health Sciences Division of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, as well as an emeritus professor of epidemiology at the University of Washington.

Education Daling received her MS in biostatistics from the University of Washington in 1974 and her PhD, from the same institution, in Epidemiology in 1977. However, Daling cautioned against drawing a firm conclusion at the time, and told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that "I'm concerned that this will be used to alarm people." Two years later she co-authored another study on the same topic that found a smaller increase in risk (relative risk 1.2) and no evidence of a higher increase in risk among any subgroups.
