This proposal seeks a training opportunity through a 3-year structured research experience. The proposed research involves an examination into the association between workplace culture, alcohol use, and occupational injuries. The relationship between alcohol use and occupational injuries and the relationship between alcohol use and workplace culture have been the focus of studies, while current research efforts have not focused on the possible modifying effects that workplace culture has an occupational injuries and alcohol use. Research has revealed that 1) alcohol use is a factor in many injuries and some occupational injuries; 2) alcohol may influence workplace injury risk in both acute alcohol and chronic effects such as hangovers; and 3) workplace culture shapes the "norms" towards alcohol use. The major hypotheses to be tested include the positive association between workplace culture towards drinking and occupational injuries. That is, a workplace culture that tolerates or encourage alcohol use is associated with increased incidences of occupational injuries. Data from existing large surveys on corporate drinking will be used to begin a prospective study. Survey results on workplace culture and alcohol use from similar worksites will be matched with the occupational injury records from the worksites. Mixed linear modeling and regression analysis will be used to analyze the results by developing a model that will correlate the incidences of occupational injuries at each worksite as a function of the variables that measure workplace culture towards drinking. The model would then be used to establish associations and characterize the relationship.

该提案寻求通过三年结构化研究经验的培训机会。 拟议的研究涉及对工作场所文化、饮酒和职业伤害之间关系的检查。 饮酒与职业伤害之间的关系以及饮酒与职场文化之间的关系一直是研究的重点，而目前的研究工作尚未关注职场文化对职业伤害和饮酒可能产生的改变作用。 研究表明：1）饮酒是许多伤害和一些职业伤害的一个因素； 2) 酒精可能会影响工伤风险，包括急性酒精和宿醉等慢性影响； 3）工作场所文化塑造了饮酒的“规范”。 要检验的主要假设包括工作场所文化与饮酒和职业伤害之间的正相关关系。 也就是说，容忍或鼓励饮酒的工作场所文化与职业伤害发生率的增加有关。 现有关于企业饮酒的大型调查的数据将用于开始一项前瞻性研究。 类似工作场所的工作场所文化和饮酒情况调查结果将与工作场所的工伤记录进行匹配。 将使用混合线性模型和回归分析来分析结果，方法是开发一个模型，将每个工作场所的职业伤害发生率与衡量工作场所饮酒文化的变量相关联。然后该模型将用于建立关联并表征关系。
