Improving Commercial Fishing Training and Outreach for Alaska Salmon Set Gillnetters

项目摘要 负担/需求/影响：商业捕鱼的职业健康研究表明， 需要有针对性的干预措施。这是特别真实的阿拉斯加土著工人和鲑鱼集 刺网渔民在阿拉斯加的死亡率最高。独特的鲑鱼 设置刺网捕鱼社区，主要是阿拉斯加土著，有自己的传统安全 在任何成功的外联工作中需要得到承认和利用的知识， 培训倡议。 目的：本研究的目的是减少鲑鱼组的海洋死亡率 刺网者通过实现以下具体目标：1）确定需求、障碍、激励因素， 影响海上安全行为的最佳做法，2）使用基于社区的战略， 促进参与培训和更多地使用救生设备，3）开发和 根据需求、障碍、激励因素和最佳实践开展量身定制的培训，4）评估 培训和推广工作，5）与渔民，培训中心， 海洋安全利益攸关方和研究界。 方法：本项目采用以社区为基础的参与性研究方法， 在雅库塔特、布里斯托湾和诺顿湾，有一个独特的鲑鱼刺网捕鱼社区。三 重点小组将告知需求，障碍，动机和最佳做法，以影响海洋 安全为代价的将制定基于社区的外联战略和3次有针对性的培训， 切实贯彻培训前和培训后，将向受训人员收集关于技能、知识、 态度、信念、海上安全行为和救生设备/程序的使用。 将对培训和外联工作进行评估，并与海洋安全教员分享， 培训中心，以改善未来的努力。最后，培训课程、方法、推广工具， 并将与鲑鱼刺网渔民和海洋安全利益相关者分享研究结果。 成果：最终成果包括增加海洋安全知识、技能、意识， 商业鲑鱼的态度、信仰、行为和救生设备的使用 刺网鱼这应该可以通过减少阿拉斯加鲑鱼集刺网的死亡率来衡量 舰队随着时间的推移。

Project Abstract Burden/Need/Impact: Occupational health research in commercial fishing has demonstrated a need for tailored interventions. This is especially true for Alaska Native workers and salmon set gillnet fishermen who are experiencing the highest fatality rates in Alaska. The unique salmon set gillnet fishing communities, largely Alaska Native, have their own traditional safety knowledge that needs to be acknowledged and utilized in any successful outreach effort or training initiative. Objectives: The objective of this research is to reduce marine fatalities for salmon set gillnetters by achieving the following specific aims 1) identify needs, barriers, motivators, and best practices to influence marine safety behaviors, 2) use community-based strategies to promote participation in training and increased use of life saving equipment, 3) develop and conduct tailored trainings based on needs, barriers, motivators, and best practices, 4) evaluate the training and outreach efforts, and 5) share findings with fishermen, training centers, stakeholders in marine safety, and the research community. Methods: This project utilizes a community-based participatory research approach with the unique salmon set gillnet fishing communities in Yakutat, Bristol Bay, and Norton Sound. Three focus groups will inform needs, barriers, motivators, and best practices to influence marine safety. Community-based outreach strategies and 3 tailored trainings will be developed and implemented. Pre-and-post training surveys will be collected from trainees on skills, knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, marine safety behaviors, and use of life saving equipment/procedures. Training and outreach efforts will be evaluated and shared with marine safety instructors and training centers to improve future efforts. Finally, training curriculum, methods, outreach tools, and study findings will be shared with salmon set gillnetters and marine safety stakeholders. Outcomes: End outcomes include increased marine safety knowledge, skills, awareness, attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and use of life saving equipment by commercial salmon set gillnetters. This should be measurable by a reduction of fatalities for the Alaska salmon set gillnet fleet over time.
