Project Abstract/Summary – California Labor Laboratory The goal of our Total Worker Health Center of Excellence, the California Labor Laboratory (CALL) is to understand the causes of and prevent or mitigate the health impacts of emergent working conditions. The axes of change in work include the growth of alternative work arrangements and contingent forms of employment, and erosion of traditional working conditions. CALL will emphasize the health impacts on those most vulnerable to the changes, including racial and ethnic minorities; women; immigrants; low wage workers; persons with disabilities; and younger and older workers, especially those with chronic diseases. Covid-19 has made it clear just how vulnerable these groups are to the changes. Concern for their welfare motivates the proposed Center. California not only has the largest population of any state, at just under 40 million, but it is among the most diverse in its racial and ethnic composition. California has also been a trend-setter in work organization, with large proportion of the workforce not being directly hired by the firm for which the work is done. CALL has these specific aims: 1) To describe, through RESEARCH, the prevalence of alternative work arrangements, document the etiological connection between those work arrangements, important sentinel working conditions, and adverse health outcomes, and perform research to uncover the mechanisms that translate work arrangements into poor health; and 2) To mitigate the health impacts of alternative work arrangements through a robust OUTREACH program encompassing the development of an interdisciplinary training program for healthy work based on research from CALL, consulting to workers and employers on best practices, and working with policymakers in regulatory, executive, and legislative branches of government at the State and Federal level to develop legislation to improve the health of work through the POLICY FORUM. CALL is a joint endeavor of two of the premier research universities in the nation, the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) and San Francisco (UCSF), but includes participants from Harvard, UCLA, and the State Department of Public Health. Several projects will jointly sponsor and use a longitudinal survey of 5,000 working age Californians to study the effect of emergent work organization and workplace exposures on health and to develop and test a multidimensional tool to evaluate the health of employment. Additional projects will use a customized sample of service workers to study the impact of inequality in working conditions and the State’s public health surveillance powers to gauge the impact of employment in the stone fabrication industry on the health of its largely immigrant workforce. CALL’s EVALUATION and PLANNING CORE develops strategic direction for the Center, manages its operations, and evaluates its progress. The activities of the Center are guided by a distinguished EXTERNAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE. The COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT BOARD will bring the perspectives of the State’s diverse population into the design and implementation of the Center’s research and outreach activities to reduce impacts on vulnerable populations.

项目摘要/摘要 - 加利福尼亚实验室 加利福尼亚劳动实验室（Call）的全部工人健康中心的目标是 了解并预防或减轻新兴工作条件的健康影响。轴 工作的变化包括替代工作安排和偶然形式的就业形式的增长，以及 传统工作条件的侵蚀。呼叫将强调对最容易受到伤害的人的健康影响 这些变化，包括种族和少数民族；女性;移民；低工资工人；与人在一起的人 残疾；以及年轻人和年龄较大的工人，尤其是患有慢性疾病的工人。 Covid-19已清楚地表明 这些群体对变化有多脆弱。对他们福利的关注激发了拟议中心。 加利福尼亚州不仅拥有任何州最多的人口，距离不到4000万，而且是最大的人口 潜水员的种族和种族组成。加利福尼亚也一直是工作组织的趋势， 大部分劳动力没有直接由完成工作的公司携带。 呼叫具有以下特定目的：1）通过研究描述替代工作的流行 安排，记录这些工作安排之间的病因学联系，重要的前哨 工作条件和不利的健康结果，并进行研究以发现这些机制 将工作安排转化为健康状况不佳； 2）减轻替代工作的健康影响 通过强大的外展计划的安排，包括跨学科的发展 基于CALL的研究，咨询工人和员工的最佳研究培训计划的健康工作计划 实践，并与政府政府政府的政策制定者合作 州和联邦一级通过政策论坛制定立法，以改善工作健康。 Call是美国两所主要研究型大学的联合努力，加利福尼亚大学 伯克利（UCB）和旧金山（UCSF），但包括哈佛，加州大学洛杉矶分校和州的参与者 公共卫生部。几个项目将共同赞助商，并对5,000个工作进行纵向调查 年龄加利福尼亚人研究新兴工作组织和工作场所对健康和工作场所的影响 开发和测试一种评估就业健康的多维工具。其他项目将使用 定制的服务工作人员样本，以研究不平等在工作条件和州的影响 公共卫生监视能力，以衡量石材制造行业的就业影响对 其主要移民劳动力的健康。呼叫的评估和计划核心发展策略 该中心的方向，管理其运营并评估其进度。中心的活动是 在杰出的外部咨询委员会的指导下。社区参与委员会 将把国家潜水员人口的观点带入中心的设计和实施 研究和外展活动，以减少对弱势群体的影响。
