SouthON Conference Grant

项目总结/摘要 美国东南部地区的职业死亡率比其他地区高出44%。 美国的死亡率。2019年，本地区各州的总体职业死亡率为6.3 死亡人数/100，000名工人，而美国整体为4.4/100，000，所有个人死亡人数均高于此。 美国劳工统计局（Bureau of Labor Statistics），弗吉尼亚州除外。东南部各州的目标是 职业健康网络（SouthON）在未来三年的合作工作会议 未来几年，我们将继续在我们为区域发展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能力和研究 地区（亚拉巴马，阿肯色州，佛罗里达，格鲁吉亚，肯塔基州，路易斯安那州，密西西比，北 卡罗莱纳、南卡罗来纳州、田纳西、弗吉尼亚和西弗吉尼亚）。我们将通过以下方式做到这一点： 1)各州卫生部门之间继续建立强有力的区域伙伴关系和协作， 学术合作伙伴，内部国家职业安全与健康研究所（NIOSH） 研究人员和监测专家，NIOSH资助的农业研究中心， 教育研究中心（ERC），其他政府机构，专业组织， 和职业健康安全利益相关者; 2）数据驱动的职业健康安全发展 伤害和疾病研究假设; 3）东南职业伤害和疾病 监测和预防活动; 4）国家和东南地区的职业健康安全能力建设; （5）将职业伤害和疾病研究转化为公共卫生实践。的 我们年度SouthON会议的目标是：1）制定OHS的共同优先事项 流行病学分析和工作现场干预; 2）与其他组织建立合作关系 职业流行病学家，NIOSH，学术同事，职业安全和健康 管理局（OSHA），工人组织和其他OHS合作伙伴; 3）提供流行病学 和职业健康安全能力建设的计划规划工具;以及4）促进科学合作 在东南地区的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.
