Building Capacity for State-Based Occupational Health Surveillance

本提案的总体目标是协助NIOSH实现NIOSH中提出的目标 加强各州卫生部门开展职业卫生监测能力的战略计划 健康监测。CSTE计划在以前与NIOSH合作的基础上， 通过维护和加强职业健康， 职业健康指标（OHIs），展示职业健康监测数据的实际应用，以及 促进各国之间的合作。今后五年将开展的具体活动是： 通过更新OHI指导文件（包含定义和 生成OHI的流程，并确保各州数据的一致性; 根据当前需要和现有数据，制定增加或删除职业健康机构的标准; 评估职业健康机构，以确保收集的监督信息的持续效用; 通过汇编案例研究，提高对监测数据的认识和利用， 有效利用职业健康监测数据为工作场所干预方案提供信息; 加强国家科技教育委员会职业健康网站，使之成为一个资料库， 职业健康监护信息，包括数据、方法和数据发布方法; 举办年度教育电话会议，以培养监测技能; 通过建立指导机制，在实施新职业健康监测方案的州建立能力 与更有经验的国家建立关系。 提供有关工伤程度和分布信息的监测系统 和疾病，以及它们发生的环境对于制定有效的预防措施至关重要 程序.最近对州流行病学能力的评估发现，10%的州卫生部门 职业健康监测能力强，而77%的人几乎没有能力或没有能力。CSTE 拟议的活动将有助于提高国家职业健康监测的能力。

The overall goal of this proposal is to assist NIOSH in implementing the goals set forth in the NIOSH Surveillance Strategic Plan to strengthen the capacity of state health departments to conduct occupational health surveillance. CSTE plans to build upon their previous collaboration with NIOSH to increase state- based occupational health surveillance capacity by maintaining and enhancing the occupational health indicators (OHIs), demonstrating the practical applications of occupational health surveillance data, and promoting collaboration among States. The specific activities to be conducted over the next five years are to: Maintain the utility of the OHIs by updating the OHI guidance document, which contains definitions and processes for generating the OHIs and ensures data consistency across states; Establish criteria for adding or removing OHIs according to current needs and available data; Evaluate the OHIs to ensure continued utility of surveillance information gathered; Build awareness and increase utilization of surveillance data by compiling case studies that demonstrate the effect use of occupational health surveillance data to inform workplace intervention programs; Enhance the CSTE occupational health website to serve as a repository to share state-based occupational health surveillance information, including data, methods, and data dissemination methods; Host an annual educational teleconference to build surveillance skills; and Build capacity in States with new occupational health surveillance programs by establishing mentoring relationships with more experienced States. Surveillance systems that provide information about the magnitude and distribution of work-related injuries and illnesses, and the circumstances in which they occur are essential to developing effective prevention programs. A recent assessment of state epidemiologic capacity found that 10% of state health departments had substantial occupational health surveillance capacity, while 77% had minimal to no capacity. CSTE proposed activities will help increase capacity for state-based occupational health surveillance.
