Archiving the occupational cohorts in the Work, Family, and Health Network

描述(由申请人提供)：本提案的总体目标是存档和提供组成工作、家庭和健康研究的独特数据集，这是一个独特的社会行为数据集，符合数据文件的国际标准，纳入其多层次性质，并创建用户友好的元数据工具。这项工作、家庭和健康(WFH)研究是一项由美国国立卫生研究院资助的约3200万美元的随机对照现场试验，涉及两个关键行业：信息技术和长期护理设施。这项研究由一个U机制资助，包括NIA、NICHD和NIOSH(U01 AG027669)的支持。2012年12月完成了对2347名雇员、405名管理人员、859名配偶和2544名家属的试验数据收集。本研究收集的信息既包含可公开获取的信息，也包含高度机密的信息。因此，迫切需要为所有信息制定明确的公开文件，并建立透明和有效的机制，使广大科学界的大量调查人员能够接触到受限制的机密数据。此外，这项研究使用了一个多层次的框架，该框架检查了分布在多个层次(例如，工作单位、经理、员工和员工家庭)的潜在风险因素，并从各种来源(例如，公司、工作地点、工作组)收集了数据。充分利用这种多层次数据需要具备使用多层次方法的专门知识，这些方法需要在分析上明确确定，并强调需要在多个层次上保护机密性，以及最大限度地利用数据。最后，还有一些干预材料将张贴在网站上，供行业或公共合作伙伴使用，以传播这种有效的工作现场干预。这个项目的具体目标是：1.建立一个全面的工作、家庭和健康研究数据档案，包括公开数据和非公开数据的用户友好版本。2.创建、维护和更新网站门户，以便提供针对用户的数据摘录(例如，分组分析或以专题为重点的数据摘录)和在线工具，以便进行描述性分析。3.通过建立一个核心小组提供持续和积极的外联支助，该小组将为新的数据用户组织讲习班，在会议上作专题介绍，并主办一个网上用户论坛(如方案代码)，以支持档案用户。4.推广可翻译的WFH产品，并广泛宣传干预促进材料，这些材料描述了一种创新的过程，指导工作团队找到减少不必要工作、提高生产率和加强员工对时间的控制的方法。这一档案研究建议将使我们能够刺激关于家庭和工作的关键交集的跨学科研究议程，增加对工作、家庭和健康研究数据集的使用，并促进更好地了解工作场所做法对健康和社会的广泛影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of this proposal is to archive and make accessible unique datasets that comprise the Work, Family, and Health Study, a unique sociobehavioral dataset, conforming to international standards of data documentation, incorporating its multi-level nature, and creating user-friendly meta-data tools. The Work, Family and Health (WFH) Study is a ~$32M NIH-funded, randomized, controlled field trial in two key industries, information technology and long- term care facilities. The study was funded through a U mechanism including support from NIA, NICHD, and NIOSH (U01 AG027669). Trial data collection was completed in December 2012 on 2,347 employees, 405 managers, 859 spouses, and 2,544 dependents. The information collected in this study contains both publicly accessible and highly confidential information. Thus, there is a critical need to develop clear public documentation of all information and transparent and effective mechanisms to provide a large number of investigators from the broad scientific community access to restricted and confidential data. Furthermore, the study uses a multi-level framework that examines potential risk factors distributed across multiple levels (e.g. work units, managers, employees, and employees' families) and collected data from a variety of sources (e.g. corporate, worksite, workgroup). The full use of this multilevel data requires expertise in using multilevel methods which need to be clearly identified analytically and also underlines the need to protect confidentiality at many levels as well as to maximize use of the data. Finally, there are intervention materials that will be posted on the website for use by industry or public partners fo dissemination of this effective work site intervention. The Specific Aims of this project are: 1. T develop a comprehensive archive of Work, Family and Health Study data including user-friendly version of publicly available data and restricted-access data not available for public use. 2. To create, maintain and update a website portal that allow for data extracts that are user-specific (e.g. subpopulation analysis or topically focused) and online tools that allow for descriptive analysis. 3. To provide ongoing and active outreach support by establishing a core group that will organize workshops for new data users, conduct presentations at conferences and host a web-based user forum (e.g. program code) to support archive users. 4. To promote translatable WFH products and to widely disseminate the intervention facilitation materials which describe an innovative process that guides work teams to find ways to decrease unnecessary work, increase productivity, and increase employee's control over their time. This archival study proposal will allow us to stimulate an interdisciplinary research agenda on the critical intersection of family and work, increase use of the Work, Family, and Health Study datasets and promote a better understanding of the widespread health and social effects of workplace practices.
