• Description:
  Work-related injuries and illnesses are an important public health problem in the United States. These injuries and illnesses are largely preventable. State-based surveillance systems that provide information about the magnitude and distribution of work-related injuries and illness and the circumstances in which they occur are essential to developing effective prevention programs. The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) conducted this project to address an identified need to increase state capacity to conduct occupational health (OH) surveillance. The aims of this proposal were to: 1.) In collaboration with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the State Based Surveillance (SBS) funded programs, CSTE will develop and maintain Occupational Health Indicator (OHI) methods and data from the SBS funded programs, evaluate their impact, support and advise NIOSH in conducting timely quality assurance activities, and disseminate annual OHI data submitted by participating states; 2.) Develop and implement communication strategies to disseminate information within the CSTE OH community, to the general public health community, and to occupational health stakeholders; 3.) Plan, organize, conduct, evaluate, and provide-state travel support for scientific meetings and workshops that build capacity in NIOSH-funded and unfunded state Occupational Safety and Health (OHS) programs; 4.) Encourage regional and national CSTE Occupational Health Subcommittee member collaborations and facilitate integration of OH into broader public health practice as an intrinsic component of public health.
