• Description:
  Objective: Develop and validate a multidimensional tool consistent with an expanded occupational safety and health (OSH) paradigm. Methods: Systematic development process; cross-sectional survey design for psychometric properties. Exploratory factor analyses (EFA) and reliability estimates on key theoretical constructs. Results: The Organic Farmer Safety, Health & Life Questionnaire (OFSHLQ) is a population-specific, theory-based, multilevel tool that integrates work and life dimensions. The development process contributed to face and content validity. The EFA identified 11 scales with acceptable factor loadings. Reliability estimates across scales ranged from 0.58 to 0.92. Discussion: OFSHLQ integrates traditional dimensions of OSH and other intrapersonal, interpersonal, and contextual factors that contribute to overall workers' health and well-being. Conclusion: OFSHLQ constitutes a resource for traditional OSH surveillance and research, and is also consistent with an expanded paradigm of OSH. [Description provided by NIOSH]
