项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to enhance the capacity of the Center for Work, Environment, Nutrition and Human Development (CWEND) to become an interdisciplinary Asia-Pacific GEOHealth Hub in Occupational Safety and Health. This planning period will be used to plan for research, training and curriculum development, and to develop the interdisciplinary network of scientists and policy-makers necessary to address worker health and safety concerns in several workplace sectors critical to the expansion of the Thai economy. Although Thailand has a strong basic occupational health and safety (OSH) infrastructure that provides fundamental OSH protections to workers in larger sized private sector workplaces, gaps in OSH still exist in other workplace sectors. As a model for the integration of academic research with the development of new policies to protect worker health and safety we will focus on the informal and healthcare sectors, which are not covered under current OSH regulations. We propose to collect data on the perceived gaps and opportunities for new OSH policy initiatives in these sectors, in order to develop a prioritized research agenda to support these initiatives. We also propose to collect background survey data on the OSH experience, concerns and issues faced by Thai workers in the informal and health care sectors. CWEND will work with the existing DrPH and the new PhD program in OSH at the Mahidol Faculty of Public Health, the University of Massachusetts' Departments of Work Environment, Nursing and Community Health and Sustainability in collaboration with the Thai Public Health Education Institutes Network (ThaiPHEIN), to expand the research capacity of current faculty, staff and graduate students to produce high quality research in support of new policy initiatives for OSH in Thailand. CWEND will also plan to expand research capacity training to other regional partners using the South East Asian Public Health Educational Institutes Network (SEAPHEIN) network and the Asia-Pacific Academic Consortium for Public Health (APACPH) network, in both of which Mahidol University plays a leadership role.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议提高中心的工作，环境，营养和人类发展（CWEND）的能力，成为一个跨学科的亚太GEOHealth中心在职业安全和健康。这一规划期将用于规划研究、培训和课程编制，并发展必要的科学家和决策者跨学科网络，以解决对泰国经济发展至关重要的几个工作场所部门的工人健康和安全问题。虽然泰国有一个强大的基本职业健康和安全（奥什）基础设施，为大型私营部门工作场所的工人提供基本的奥什保护，但其他工作场所部门在奥什方面仍然存在差距。作为将学术研究与保护工人健康和安全的新政策的制定相结合的一个模式，我们将把重点放在非正规部门和医疗保健部门，这些部门没有被现行的奥什法规所涵盖。我们建议收集这些行业中新的奥什政策举措的差距和机会的数据，以便制定优先研究议程，以支持这些举措。我们还建议收集背景调查数据，以了解泰国非正规部门和医疗保健部门工人的奥什安全和健康经验、关切和问题。CWEND将与现有的DrPH和奥什公共卫生学院的新博士课程合作，马萨诸塞州大学的工作环境，护理和社区健康与可持续发展部门与泰国公共卫生教育研究所网络合作（ThaiPHEIN），扩大现有教师的研究能力，工作人员和研究生进行高质量的研究，以支持泰国奥什的新政策倡议。CWEND还计划利用东南亚公共卫生教育机构网络（SEAPHEIN）和亚太公共卫生学术联盟（APACPH）网络将研究能力培训扩大到其他区域合作伙伴，玛希隆大学在这两个网络中发挥领导作用。
