DESCRIPTION (Adapted for the Investigator's Abstract): Workplace homicides in California have risen 47% in the last three years, and the number of assaults leading to non-fatal medically attended injury has increased even more. Certain occupations are consistently found to be at elevated risk of workplace homicide, and factors which increase the risk of assault have been identified. The dramatically increasing rates of workplace homicide and assault-related non-fatal injury necessitate the introduction of preventive countermeasures. The major objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a community based, business-site educational intervention to reduce work-related assault injury in high risk business populations. This project will: (1) identify specific risk factors for work-related assault in high risk businesses, (2) establish an ongoing surveillance system to measure work-related assault incidence, (3) based on previous knowledge of risk factors, design and implement a business-specific educational intervention program, and, (4) measure process and outcome effectiveness of the intervention in reducing workplace assault injuries. The proposed research is a community-based intervention trial. Using two CalOSHA Regions, high risk business will be randomly allocated into intervention and comparison groups. Intervention businesses will receive an individualized and intensive program designed to help store owners/managers identify risks in their workplace and alter their work environment to reduce these risks. A comprehensive evaluation including rigorous surveillance of workplace assault incidents will be conducted to determine if the program was successful, and to identify particular components of the program which were most effective. The project is a collaborative effort between the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (CalOSHA) and the Southern California Injury Prevention Research Center (SCIPRC). Both agencies have extensive experience in work-related violence research. A recognized expert who works with both industry and government in workplace violence will assist in the design and implementation of a state-of-the-art intervention strategy. Researchers from the Southern California Injury Research Prevention Center will design the study and will be responsible for a comprehensive evaluation of the intervention.

描述（根据调查员的摘要改编）：工作场所凶杀案 过去三年，加州的人口数量增加了 47% 导致非致命医疗伤害的袭击甚至有所增加 更多的。 某些职业一直被发现面临较高的风险 工作场所凶杀案以及增加袭击风险的因素 确定。 工作场所凶杀率急剧上升 与袭击相关的非致命伤害需要采取预防措施 对策。 本研究的主要目的是确定一项措施的有效性 基于社区的企业现场教育干预，以减少 高风险商业人群中的工伤攻击。 这个项目 将：(1) 确定高危人群中与工作相关的攻击的具体风险因素 风险企业，（2）建立持续的监控系统来衡量 与工作相关的攻击事件，(3) 基于先前的风险知识 因素，设计和实施针对特定业务的教育干预措施 计划，以及 (4) 衡量计划的过程和结果有效性 干预减少工作场所袭击伤害。 拟议的研究是一项基于社区的干预试验。 使用两个 CalOSHA 地区，高风险业务将被随机分配到 干预组和对照组。 干预企业将获得 旨在帮助店主/经理的个性化强化计划 识别工作场所的风险并改变工作环境以减少风险 这些风险。 全面评估，包括严格监督 将进行工作场所袭击事件以确定该计划是否 是成功的，并确定了该计划的特定组成部分 是最有效的。 该项目是加州职业协会之间的合作项目 安全与健康管理局 (CalOSHA) 和南加州 伤害预防研究中心（SCIPRC）。 两个机构都拥有广泛的 与工作相关的暴力研究的经验。 一位公认的工作专家 与行业和政府合作，在工作场所暴力将有助于 设计和实施最先进的干预策略。 南加州伤害研究预防中心的研究人员 将设计研究并负责综合评估 的干预。
