State-Based Occupational Health Surveillance Meeting

描述：国家和地区流行病学家委员会（CSTE）要求NIOSH支持2006-2010年“国家职业健康监测会议”，该会议将与CSTE年度会议同时举行。本次会议符合NIOSH的使命，即通过提供职业安全和健康领域的研究、信息、教育和培训，确保男女劳动者的安全和健康工作条件。会议的总体目标是提供一个论坛，分享通过有效的公共卫生监测和健全的流行病学做法预防职业病和伤害以及促进健康的知识。具体而言，本次会议允许职业健康流行病学家1)介绍其所在州和地区的研究或调查的结果和建议；2)通过举办关于当前公共卫生问题的讲习班，提供教育经验；3)与在州和地方卫生机构以及联邦合作伙伴工作的同行建立联系。主要议题包括职业伤害和疾病监测、建立基于国家的监测能力、审查职业健康监测的数据来源以及将职业健康纳入公共卫生实践。参与者包括在州、地方、部落和联邦机构、学术界和私人组织工作的流行病学家和公共卫生从业人员。通过提供旅费支助，社会科学技术委员会希望将参加会议的机会扩大到国家职业卫生流行病学家和公共卫生从业人员，特别是那些参加会议的传统费用过高的人。CSTE年会和以州为基础的职业健康监督会议在CSTE当选总统所在的州举行，当选总统是在上一年的会议上选出的。因此，2006年至2010年CSTE年会的具体日期和地点尚未确定。然而，以前的会议一般在每年6月举行。

DESCRIPTION: The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) is requesting NIOSH support for a "State-Based Occupational Health Surveillance Meeting" for 2006-2010 to held in conjunction with the CSTE Annual Conference. This meeting is consistent with NIOSH's mission of assuring safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by providing research, information, education, and training in the field of occupational safety and health. The overall objective of the meeting is to provide a forum to share knowledge on the application of occupational disease and injury prevention and health promotion through the use of effective public health surveillance and sound epidemiologic practice. Specifically, this meeting allows occupational health epidemiologists to 1) present findings and recommendations from studies or investigations in their state and territories; 2) provide an educational experience by offering workshops on current public health issues; and 3) network with peers working in state and local health agencies as well as federal partners. Principal topics covered include occupational injury and disease surveillance, building state-based surveillance capacity, reviewing data sources for occupational health surveillance, and integrating occupational health into public health practice. Participants include epidemiologists and public health practitioners working in state, local, tribal and federal agencies, academia, and private organizations. By providing travel support, CSTE would like to extend the opportunity to attend the conference to state-based occupational health epidemiologists and public health practitioners, particularly to those for whom attending the conference is traditionally cost prohibitive. The CSTE Annual Conference and State-based Occupational Health Surveillance meeting is held in the home state of CSTE's President-Elect, who is elected at the previous year's conference. Therefore, the specific dates and locations of CSTE Annual Conferences for 2006 through 2010 have yet to be determined. However, previously the conference has generally been held in June of each year.
