Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案是对1 U19 OH008857 (PI Punnett)：新英格兰工作场所健康促进中心（CPH-NEW）的竞争性修订。CPH-NEW的组织原则是将职业安全和健康与促进工作场所健康结合起来。CPH-NEW目前已进入第三个年头，并开发了各种专用仪器和方案，供其干预地点使用。正在进行的CPH-NEW研究提供了证据，证明了将参与性和自我纠正方法结合起来，将工作场所健康保护（特别是职业人体工程学）与健康促进活动结合起来的有效性。目前的CPH-NEW项目已经制定了促进这种参与性进程的工具和协议，并具有可行性、可接受性、可持续性和有效性的初步证据。与此同时，用于衡量组织准备情况和评价干预成功的各种工具，加上参与性结构和进程的发展，需要耗费大量资源和时间。虽然该研究方案适合于项目有效性的科学研究，但不适合推荐给公共卫生官员、保险人员、顾问和内部公司冠军等从业人员广泛使用。其中许多现在已经准备好进行研究-实践翻译。在拟议的2年研究期间，CPH-NEW研究人员将通过从马萨诸塞州公共卫生部“工作场所健康”项目参与者和康涅狄格州一家惩教机构招募的6个试点地点（均通过当前的CPHNEW招募）来完善这些方法，使其更广泛地使用

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal is a competitive revision to 1 U19 OH008857 (PI Punnett): Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace (CPH-NEW). The organizing principle of CPH-NEW is that of integrating occupational safety and health with workplace health promotion. CPH-NEW is currently in its third year and has developed a variety of specialized instruments and protocols for use at its intervention sites. Ongoing CPH-NEW research provides evidence for the effectiveness of combining participatory and self-correcting approaches to the integration of workplace health protection - especially occupational ergonomics - and health promotion activities. The current CPH-NEW projects have developed instruments and protocols that promote such a participatory process, with initial evidence of feasibility, acceptability, sustainability, and effectiveness. At the same time, the wide array of instruments used to measure organizational readiness and to evaluate intervention success, combined with the development of participatory structures and processes, is resource- and time intensive. While appropriate for a scientific study of program effectiveness, the research protocol would be inappropriate to recommend for widespread use by practitioners such as public health officials, insurance personnel, consultants, and in-house company champions. Many of these are now ready for research-to practice translation. In the proposed 2-year study period, CPH-NEW investigators will refine these methods for more widespread use through engaging 6 pilot sites, recruited from Massachusetts Department of Public Health "Worksite Wellness" program participants and one Connecticut correction facility (all recruited through current CPHNEW activities). The process involves four steps: 1) condensation of data collection instruments, including collaboration with a European partner who has undertaken parallel work; 2) field testing of instruments and a tool kit at the 6 pilot sites; 3) development and implementation of a set of accessible evaluation tools; and 4) production of a "beta version" of the toolkit for dissemination to practitioners. Throughout the development process key personnel from the public and private sectors, identified as likely end-users, will be engaged in active review.
