• Description:
  OHWC's overall, collective activity across the Planning & Evaluation, Research, and Outreach Cores demonstrates a compelling record of innovation and accomplishment. In this cycle (2016-2021), OHWC has made consistent and demonstrable strides toward its four aims within the Planning & Evaluation Core. Specifically, there has been a successful transition of leadership; our External Advisory Committee has been meaningfully expanded to include members with diverse stakeholder expertise; we have adapted and actively responded to the COVID-19 pandemic and rapidly changing needs of the workforce; our core funded projects have yielded positive effects included reduced sleep and fatigue, and musculoskeletal pain, and improved physical activity and eating behaviors; further, 3 pilot projects were funded in this cycle, all of which became full-fledged research projects in OHWC's subsequent cycle. As of this cycle, OHWC has produced 24 peer-reviewed articles, and 3 book chapters. Given our goal to create evidence-based comprehensive toolkits and evidence-informed easy-to-use tools, we have created resources for workers across industries such as construction, home care, parks and recreation, trucking, public works, and call centers. We have supplemented our research success with robust activities within the Outreach Core - these include forging new partnerships with stakeholder-led and worker community groups, disseminating our research through peer-reviewed journals and book chapters; we published lay audience articles in popular media; we have maintained a strong social media and blog presence; and created a podcast. Next, we have created and sustained a variety of TWH professional development and educational opportunities for practitioners and students such as the OHP Summer Institute for academic audiences, bi-annual symposia for practitioners, and internship opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students. Through our landmark Oregon Total Worker Health Alliance, we have helped spearhead the Total Worker Health curriculum and delivered the training to hundreds of practitioners through in-person and online formats. Finally, the outcomes of our research have been translated into ready-to-use multi-component toolkits, which along with our collective resources from previous cycles are housed and disseminated through a dedicated online repository.
