Archiving the occupational cohorts in the Work, Family, and Health Network

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的总体目标是存档并使包含工作、家庭和健康研究的独特数据集可访问，这是一个独特的社会行为数据集，符合数据文档的国际标准，结合其多层次性质，并创建用户友好的元数据工具。工作、家庭和健康（WFH）研究是美国国立卫生研究院（nih）资助的一项约3200万美元的随机对照实地试验，涉及信息技术和长期护理设施这两个关键行业。本研究由NIA、NICHD和NIOSH共同资助（U01 AG027669）。试验数据收集于2012年12月完成，涉及2,347名员工、405名经理、859名配偶和2,544名家属。本研究中收集的信息既包含可公开访问的信息，也包含高度机密的信息。因此，迫切需要制定所有信息的明确公开文件和透明有效的机制，以便向广大科学界的大量调查人员提供受限制和保密的数据。此外，该研究使用了一个多层次的框架来检查分布在多个层面（如工作单位、经理、员工和员工家属）的潜在风险因素，并从各种来源（如公司、工作场所、工作组）收集数据。要充分利用这种多层次数据，就需要使用多层次方法的专门知识，这些方法需要在分析上加以明确确定，并强调需要在许多层次上保护机密性以及最大限度地利用数据。最后，还有一些干预材料将被发布在网站上，供行业或公共合作伙伴使用，以传播这种有效的工作场所干预。本项目的具体目标是：1。建立一个全面的工作、家庭和健康研究数据档案，包括公开可用数据的用户友好版本和不供公众使用的限制访问数据。2. 创建、维护和更新一个网站门户，允许用户特定的数据提取（例如，亚群体分析或主题聚焦）和允许描述性分析的在线工具。3. 通过建立一个核心小组，为新数据用户组织研讨会，在会议上进行演讲，并主持一个基于网络的用户论坛（例如程序代码），为档案用户提供持续和积极的外展支持。4. 推广可翻译的WFH产品，并广泛传播干预促进材料，这些材料描述了一个创新的过程，指导工作团队找到减少不必要工作的方法，提高生产力，增加员工对时间的控制。这项档案研究提案将使我们能够激发关于家庭和工作关键交叉点的跨学科研究议程，增加对工作、家庭和健康研究数据集的使用，并促进对工作场所实践的广泛健康和社会影响的更好理解。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of this proposal is to archive and make accessible unique datasets that comprise the Work, Family, and Health Study, a unique sociobehavioral dataset, conforming to international standards of data documentation, incorporating its multi-level nature, and creating user-friendly meta-data tools. The Work, Family and Health (WFH) Study is a ~$32M NIH-funded, randomized, controlled field trial in two key industries, information technology and long- term care facilities. The study was funded through a U mechanism including support from NIA, NICHD, and NIOSH (U01 AG027669). Trial data collection was completed in December 2012 on 2,347 employees, 405 managers, 859 spouses, and 2,544 dependents. The information collected in this study contains both publicly accessible and highly confidential information. Thus, there is a critical need to develop clear public documentation of all information and transparent and effective mechanisms to provide a large number of investigators from the broad scientific community access to restricted and confidential data. Furthermore, the study uses a multi-level framework that examines potential risk factors distributed across multiple levels (e.g. work units, managers, employees, and employees' families) and collected data from a variety of sources (e.g. corporate, worksite, workgroup). The full use of this multilevel data requires expertise in using multilevel methods which need to be clearly identified analytically and also underlines the need to protect confidentiality at many levels as well as to maximize use of the data. Finally, there are intervention materials that will be posted on the website for use by industry or public partners fo dissemination of this effective work site intervention. The Specific Aims of this project are: 1. T develop a comprehensive archive of Work, Family and Health Study data including user-friendly version of publicly available data and restricted-access data not available for public use. 2. To create, maintain and update a website portal that allow for data extracts that are user-specific (e.g. subpopulation analysis or topically focused) and online tools that allow for descriptive analysis. 3. To provide ongoing and active outreach support by establishing a core group that will organize workshops for new data users, conduct presentations at conferences and host a web-based user forum (e.g. program code) to support archive users. 4. To promote translatable WFH products and to widely disseminate the intervention facilitation materials which describe an innovative process that guides work teams to find ways to decrease unnecessary work, increase productivity, and increase employee's control over their time. This archival study proposal will allow us to stimulate an interdisciplinary research agenda on the critical intersection of family and work, increase use of the Work, Family, and Health Study datasets and promote a better understanding of the widespread health and social effects of workplace practices.
