背景
这项研究使用定量和定性数据，研究了青少年工人对工作环境的看法，以及青少年认为工作场所可以变得更安全的方式。
方法
我们进行了电话采访（n = 117）和六个焦点小组（n = 49）与两个独立的样本北卡罗来纳州青少年谁在零售贸易部门工作。
结果
调查结果显示，五分之一的青少年使用他们认为危险的设备;近40%的人总是或经常在工作中感到匆忙;大约一半的人接受过如何避免受伤的培训。焦点小组中的青少年对工作场所的人身危险、攻击威胁、匆忙以及在工作环境中几乎没有权力表示担忧。他们还表示，他们的工作场所安全培训无效，童工法是不必要的。
结论
为了有效，针对在职青少年的干预措施需要解决工作组织和管理者互动模式。
BACKGROUND
Using both quantitative and qualitative data, this study examined teen workers' perceptions about their work environments and the ways in which teens believe workplaces can be made safer.
METHODS
We conducted telephone interviews (n = 117) and six focus groups (n = 49) with two separate samples of North Carolina teens who worked in the retail trade sector.
RESULTS
Survey findings indicate one-fifth of teens used equipment they thought dangerous; nearly 40% always or often felt rushed at work; and about half received training on how to avoid injury. Teens in the focus groups expressed concerns about workplace physical hazards, the threat of assault, being rushed, and having little power in the work environment. They also indicated that their workplace safety training was ineffective and that child labor laws were unnecessary.
CONCLUSIONS
In order to be effective, interventions targeted at working teens need to address the organization of work and adolescent-manager interaction patterns.
