• Description:
  Outputs from WestON meeting included detailed meeting agenda with speakers; list of meeting participants by agency/health department and attendance type (i.e., in-person vs. streaming); ability for participants to attend the meeting via live, online streaming; successful completion of WestON meeting, as well as archived meeting presentations and completion of WestON meeting evaluation summary. Short-term outcomes included maintenance of representation by all Western state health departments as measured by participant demographics; general satisfaction with the meeting; usefulness of each session of the meeting; changes in knowledge/abilities pre- and post-meeting; representation and participation by all 19 Western state health departments; as well as engagement by regional ERCs, Agricultural Centers, Total Worker Health Centers, universities and worker organizations. Intermediate (medium-term) outcomes included improved occupational injury surveillance in Western states; increased occupational injury prevention interventions; identification of Western occupational health priorities and issues; increased completion of occupational health indicators (OHIs) by Western states; and increased collaborative publications and presentations at national conferences. The key long-term outcome of the WestON meetings was to increase the occupational epidemiology capacity in the 19 Western states. To assess change in occupational epidemiology capacity for future WestON meetings, we will utilize the responses of the 19 Western states to the national CSTE Epidemiology Capacity Assessment, conducted every 2-3 years, with a focus on the responses in the areas related to occupational health surveillance resources (personnel and funding).
