California Labor Laboratory (CALL)

项目摘要/摘要-加州劳工实验室 我们的全员健康卓越中心加州劳工实验室(CALL)的目标是 了解突发工作条件的原因，预防或减轻其对健康的影响。轴心 工作变化的影响包括替代工作安排和临时就业形式的增加； 对传统工作条件的侵蚀。Call将强调对那些最脆弱的人的健康影响 变化，包括种族和少数民族；妇女；移民；低薪工人； 残疾人；年轻和年长的工人，特别是患有慢性病的工人。新冠肺炎已经明确表示 这些群体对这些变化有多么脆弱。对他们福利的关心促使了拟议中的中心。 加州不仅是人口最多的州，不到4000万，而且是人口最多的州之一 其种族和民族构成多样化。加州也是工作组织中的潮流引领者， 很大一部分劳动力不是由为其完成工作的公司直接雇用的。 CALL有以下具体目标：1)通过研究描述替代工作的流行程度 安排，记录这些工作安排之间的病因联系，重要的哨兵 工作条件和不利的健康后果，并进行研究，以揭示 将工作安排转化为糟糕的健康；以及2)减轻替代工作对健康的影响 通过一个强有力的外联方案作出安排，该方案包括发展跨学科的 健康工作培训计划，基于Call的研究，向工人和雇主提供最佳咨询 实践，并与政府监管、行政和立法部门的政策制定者合作 州和联邦一级制定立法，通过政策论坛改善工作健康。 CALL是美国两所顶尖的研究型大学加州大学共同努力的成果 加州大学伯克利分校和旧金山分校，但包括来自哈佛大学、加州大学洛杉矶分校和加州大学的参与者 公共卫生部门。几个项目将联合发起并使用对5000名工作人员的纵向调查 年龄加州人研究紧急工作组织和工作场所暴露对健康和 开发和测试评估就业健康状况的多维工具。其他项目将使用 定制服务人员样本，研究工作条件不平等的影响和国家 公共卫生监察权力，以评估石材加工业的就业对 以移民为主的劳动力的健康状况。CALL的评估和规划核心发展战略 指导中心，管理其运作，并评估其进展情况。该中心的活动包括 由一个杰出的外部咨询委员会指导。社区参与委员会 将把该州不同人群的观点纳入该中心的设计和实施 开展研究和外联活动，以减少对弱势群体的影响。

Project Abstract/Summary – California Labor Laboratory The goal of our Total Worker Health Center of Excellence, the California Labor Laboratory (CALL) is to understand the causes of and prevent or mitigate the health impacts of emergent working conditions. The axes of change in work include the growth of alternative work arrangements and contingent forms of employment, and erosion of traditional working conditions. CALL will emphasize the health impacts on those most vulnerable to the changes, including racial and ethnic minorities; women; immigrants; low wage workers; persons with disabilities; and younger and older workers, especially those with chronic diseases. Covid-19 has made it clear just how vulnerable these groups are to the changes. Concern for their welfare motivates the proposed Center. California not only has the largest population of any state, at just under 40 million, but it is among the most diverse in its racial and ethnic composition. California has also been a trend-setter in work organization, with large proportion of the workforce not being directly hired by the firm for which the work is done. CALL has these specific aims: 1) To describe, through RESEARCH, the prevalence of alternative work arrangements, document the etiological connection between those work arrangements, important sentinel working conditions, and adverse health outcomes, and perform research to uncover the mechanisms that translate work arrangements into poor health; and 2) To mitigate the health impacts of alternative work arrangements through a robust OUTREACH program encompassing the development of an interdisciplinary training program for healthy work based on research from CALL, consulting to workers and employers on best practices, and working with policymakers in regulatory, executive, and legislative branches of government at the State and Federal level to develop legislation to improve the health of work through the POLICY FORUM. CALL is a joint endeavor of two of the premier research universities in the nation, the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) and San Francisco (UCSF), but includes participants from Harvard, UCLA, and the State Department of Public Health. Several projects will jointly sponsor and use a longitudinal survey of 5,000 working age Californians to study the effect of emergent work organization and workplace exposures on health and to develop and test a multidimensional tool to evaluate the health of employment. Additional projects will use a customized sample of service workers to study the impact of inequality in working conditions and the State’s public health surveillance powers to gauge the impact of employment in the stone fabrication industry on the health of its largely immigrant workforce. CALL’s EVALUATION and PLANNING CORE develops strategic direction for the Center, manages its operations, and evaluates its progress. The activities of the Center are guided by a distinguished EXTERNAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE. The COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT BOARD will bring the perspectives of the State’s diverse population into the design and implementation of the Center’s research and outreach activities to reduce impacts on vulnerable populations.
