DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Law enforcement officers frequently suffer from excessive fatigue, sleep disturbances, and other health problems associated with shift work and long working hours. The literature on tired officers is unequivocal: fatigued officers use more sick-leave, engage in the inappropriate use of force more frequently, experience more motor vehicle accidents and accidental injuries, and have a higher likelihood of dying in the line of duty. There currently exist very few interventions to support law enforcement in managing the health and safety burdens of shift work. Web-based workforce health interventions have shown considerable promise for improving employee health. Consistent with current trends in law enforcement training, web-based interventions provide a practical and cost-effective approach to reaching large numbers of officers working various schedules. The overall goal of this Fast-Track project is to develop and test a web-based program designed specifically to help law enforcement officers address the health and lifestyle challenges associated with shift work: sleep hygiene, nutrition, and physical activity. Not only are each of these behaviors independently impacted by shift work, but they are mutually interrelated, and therefore logically addressed with a holistic approach. In Phase I, a prototype will be developed and a feasibility test will be conducted. In Phase II, the full program will be developed and tested in a randomized controlled trial with 300 law enforcement officers of the Baltimore County Police Department. The final program will be marketed to law enforcement agencies through the concentrated efforts by ISA's Center for Workforce Health in [partnership with the Virginia Police Benevolent Association and the University of Tennessee Law Enforcement Innovation Center.]

描述（由申请人提供）：执法人员经常遭受过度疲劳，睡眠障碍，以及与轮班工作和长时间工作有关的其他健康问题。关于疲惫的军官的文献是明确的：疲惫的军官使用更多的病假，更频繁地不适当地使用武力，经历更多的机动车事故和意外伤害，并且在执行任务时死亡的可能性更高。目前，支持执法部门管理轮班工作的健康和安全负担的干预措施很少。基于网络的劳动力健康干预措施在改善员工健康方面显示出相当大的前景。根据目前执法培训的趋势，基于网络的干预措施提供了一种切实可行和具有成本效益的方法，可以接触到大量工作时间不同的官员。这个快速通道项目的总体目标是开发和测试一个基于网络的程序，该程序专门用于帮助执法人员解决与轮班工作相关的健康和生活方式挑战：睡眠卫生，营养和身体活动。这些行为中的每一个不仅独立地受到轮班工作的影响，而且它们是相互关联的，因此在逻辑上需要采用整体方法来解决。在第一阶段，将开发原型并进行可行性测试。在第二阶段，将制定完整的方案，并在巴尔的摩县警察局的300名执法人员的随机对照试验中进行测试。最终的计划将通过伊萨的劳动力健康中心与弗吉尼亚警察慈善协会和田纳西州执法创新中心大学合作的集中努力向执法机构销售。
