SouthON Conference Grant

项目摘要/摘要 美国东南部地区的职业死亡率比 美国的死亡率。2019年，我区各州总体职业死亡率为6.3 每10万名工人中有4.4人死亡，而美国的整体死亡率为4.4/10万，所有人的死亡率都更高 各州(劳工统计局)，弗吉尼亚州除外。东南部各州的目标 职业健康网络(Southon)未来三年的协作工作会议 几年来，我们将继续在我们为区域建立的基础上再接再厉 美国东南部12个州的职业健康监测(OHS)能力和研究 地区(阿拉巴马州、阿肯色州、佛罗里达州、佐治亚州、肯塔基州、路易斯安那州、密西西比州、北部 卡罗莱纳、南卡罗来纳州、田纳西州、弗吉尼亚州和西弗吉尼亚州)。我们将通过以下方式实现这一点： 1)国家卫生部门之间继续结成强有力的区域伙伴关系和合作， 国家职业安全与健康研究所(NIOSH)内部学术伙伴 研究人员和监测专家，NIOSH资助的农业研究中心和 教育研究中心(ERCs)、其他政府机构、专业组织、 和职业健康安全利益攸关方；2)数据驱动的职业发展 伤害和疾病研究假设；3)东南部职业伤害和疾病 监测和预防活动；4)州和东南地区OHS能力建设； 5)将职业伤害和疾病研究转化为公共卫生实践。这个 我们年度Southon会议的目标是：1)为OHS制定共同的优先事项 流行病学分析和工作现场干预；2)与其他 职业流行病学家，NIOSH，学术同事，职业安全和健康 管理部门(OSHA)、工人组织和其他OHS合作伙伴；3)提供流行病学 和用于OHS能力建设的计划规划工具；以及4)促进科学合作 在东南部地区的OHS合作伙伴中。NIOSH基金将支持Southon会议 参与者。

Project Summary/Abstract The occupational fatality rates in the Southeast region of the United States are 44% higher than the US fatality rate. In 2019, the overall occupational fatality rate for states in our region was 6.3 deaths/100,000 workers compared to 4.4/100,000 for the US overall, and higher in all individual states (Bureau of Labor Statistics) except Virginia. The goal of the Southeastern States Occupational Health Network (SouthON) collaborative working meetings over the next three years will be to continue to build upon the foundation we have established for regional occupational health surveillance (OHS) capacity and research in the 12-state Southeastern US region (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia). We will do this through: 1) continued strong regional partnerships and collaborations among state health departments, academic partners, internal National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) researchers and surveillance experts, NIOSH-funded agricultural research centers and education research centers (ERCs), other governmental agencies, professional organizations, and occupational health and safety stakeholders; 2) data-driven development of occupational injury and illness research hypotheses; 3) southeastern occupational injury and illness surveillance and prevention activities; 4) state and southeast regional OHS capacity building; and 5) translation of occupational injury and illness research into public health practice. The objectives of our annual SouthON meetings are to: 1) develop common priorities for OHS epidemiological analyses, and worksite interventions; 2) build collaborations with other occupational epidemiologists, NIOSH, academic colleagues, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), worker organizations, and other OHS partners; 3) provide epidemiology and program planning tools for OHS capacity building; and 4) promote scientific collaboration among OHS partners in the Southeast region. NIOSH funds will support the SouthON meeting participants.
