State-Based Occupational Health Surveillance Meeting

产品说明：州和地区流行病学家理事会要求国家职业安全和健康研究所支持在2006-2010年期间与州和地区流行病学家年会同时举行的“州职业健康监测会议”。 这次会议符合NIOSH的使命，即通过提供职业安全和健康领域的研究、信息、教育和培训，确保男女工人的安全和健康的工作条件。 会议的整体目标是提供一个论坛，让与会者分享如何透过有效的公共卫生监察及良好的流行病学方法，预防职业病及伤害，以及促进健康的知识。 具体来说，这次会议允许职业健康流行病学家1）从他们的州和地区的研究或调查中提出发现和建议; 2）通过提供关于当前公共卫生问题的研讨会提供教育经验; 3）与州和地方卫生机构以及联邦合作伙伴的同行建立网络。主要议题包括职业伤害和疾病监测、建立国家监测能力、审查职业健康监测的数据来源以及将职业健康纳入公共卫生实践。 参与者包括在州、地方、部落和联邦机构、学术界和私人组织工作的流行病学家和公共卫生从业人员。 通过提供旅费支助，科技教育委员会希望使各州的职业卫生流行病学家和公共卫生从业人员有机会参加会议，特别是那些参加会议传统上费用高昂的人。 CSTE年度会议和州职业健康监测会议在CSTE当选总统的家乡州举行，当选总统是在前一年的会议上当选的。 因此，2006年至2010年科技委年度会议的具体日期和地点尚待确定。 不过，此前大会一般在每年6月举行。

DESCRIPTION: The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) is requesting NIOSH support for a "State-Based Occupational Health Surveillance Meeting" for 2006-2010 to held in conjunction with the CSTE Annual Conference. This meeting is consistent with NIOSH's mission of assuring safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by providing research, information, education, and training in the field of occupational safety and health. The overall objective of the meeting is to provide a forum to share knowledge on the application of occupational disease and injury prevention and health promotion through the use of effective public health surveillance and sound epidemiologic practice. Specifically, this meeting allows occupational health epidemiologists to 1) present findings and recommendations from studies or investigations in their state and territories; 2) provide an educational experience by offering workshops on current public health issues; and 3) network with peers working in state and local health agencies as well as federal partners. Principal topics covered include occupational injury and disease surveillance, building state-based surveillance capacity, reviewing data sources for occupational health surveillance, and integrating occupational health into public health practice. Participants include epidemiologists and public health practitioners working in state, local, tribal and federal agencies, academia, and private organizations. By providing travel support, CSTE would like to extend the opportunity to attend the conference to state-based occupational health epidemiologists and public health practitioners, particularly to those for whom attending the conference is traditionally cost prohibitive. The CSTE Annual Conference and State-based Occupational Health Surveillance meeting is held in the home state of CSTE's President-Elect, who is elected at the previous year's conference. Therefore, the specific dates and locations of CSTE Annual Conferences for 2006 through 2010 have yet to be determined. However, previously the conference has generally been held in June of each year.
