• Description:
  In many industries, the population of a workplace is relatively stable. Construction is different: work teams from different trades come and go with different stages of a project. In industries like construction, this workforce mobility may influence the ability to implement, measure, and evaluate health and safety interventions delivered at worksites. The researchers performed a simulation study to objectively measure both precision and relative bias of six different analytic methods as a function of the amount of mobility observed in the workforce. Afterward, they used the six methods to reanalyze a previous cluster-randomized control trial. See abstract: http://bit.ly/2Itz4D0. Description provided by NIOSH
