This project's goal is to determine the prevalence of workplace accommodations for older workers with disabilities and to evaluate the impact of these accommodations on retirement and on the risk of occupational injury. These analyses will be carried out primarily in the rich database of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS)- a longitudinal, nationally representative survey of older Americans. The specific aims of this project are: 1. To describe the prevalence of workplace accommodations and the factors that influence the likelihood of accommodation among older workers, using the first three waves of the HRS (1992-1996). 2. To compare the prevalence of workplace accommodations and the factors that influence the likelihood of accommodation among older workers with those among younger workers, using the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) (1994-1995 Disability Supplement). 3. To assess changes in the rate and nature of workplace accommodations over the first decade of implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), using the first five waves of the HRS (1992-2000). 4. To determine whether workplace accommodations prolong the worklife of older workers with disabilities, using the first five waves of the HRS (1992-2000). 5. To determine whether workplace accommodations prevent occupational injuries among older workers with disabilities, using the first five waves of the HRS (1992-2000).

该项目的目标是确定工作场所为残疾老年工人提供便利的普遍程度，并评估这些便利对退休和职业伤害风险的影响。这些分析将主要在健康与退休研究（HRS）的丰富数据库中进行-这是一项对美国老年人的纵向，全国代表性调查。该项目的具体目标是：1。使用HRS（1992-1996年）的前三波数据，描述工作场所住宿的普遍性以及影响老年工人住宿可能性的因素。2.使用全国健康访谈调查（NHIS）（1994-1995年残疾补助），比较工作场所住宿的普遍性以及影响老年工人与年轻工人住宿可能性的因素。3.使用HRS的前五波（1992-2000年），评估《美国残疾人法案》（ADA）实施后第一个十年工作场所便利的比率和性质的变化。4.使用人力资源调查的前五波（1992-2000年），确定工作场所的便利设施是否延长了老年残疾工人的工作寿命。5.使用HRS（1992-2000年）的前五波数据，确定工作场所的便利设施是否能预防老年残疾工人的职业伤害。
