Program Summary/Abstract The International Union, UAW and its partners propose to address three problems. The first is the potential for illness and injury directly or indirectly related to hazardous material exposure. The second is occupational and environmental health disparities, particularly as they affect the Hispanic/Latino population of Southeast Michigan. The third problem is the opioid epidemic, an emerging environmental health issue. To address the first problem, we will continue development of an ongoing program whose paramount goal is to prevent illnesses and injuries by providing training on health and safety topics that are directly or indirectly related to elimination and/or reduction of potential exposure to hazardous materials. UAW members throughout the United States are exposed to a wide variety of hazards. Manufacturing workers can face exposure to carcinogens, such as welding fume and hexavalent chromium and emerging hazards, such as engineered nanomaterials (ENM). Members employed in casinos are often heavily exposed to carcinogenic tobacco smoke. In healthcare and academic labs, union members can be exposed to bloodborne pathogens, sterilants, radioactive isotopes and/or emerging hazards, such as ENM. The UAW has established a partnership with the University of Puerto Rico to provide training to the union’s six thousand active members on the island who are still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. The second problem is occupational and environmental health disparities in Southeast Michigan, where the Hispanic/Latino population includes many who are disadvantaged by environmental injustice, less formal education, limited English proficiency, and/or limited access to training. The UAW is working with two partners who serve the Hispanic/Latino communities in Southeast Michigan, Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan – Hispanic Outreach Services (CCSEM/HOS) and La Casa Guadalupana. Many in these populations are exposed to pesticides when doing landscaping or agricultural work, silica and other dust when working in construction and/or toxic cleaning solvents when working in housekeeping or childcare. Some work outdoors, where they are exposed to temperature extremes, UV radiation and/or air pollutants. They may work 6-7 days per week in jobs characterized by seasonal instability, shifting hours, low pay and physically harmful or dangerous work conditions. The third problem is the opioid crisis, which has affected many UAW members, especially in manufacturing. In the first year of the grant, the UAW and its partners together propose to train 2,661 participants in 163 programs for a total of 20,442 contact hours. The five-year totals would be 13,305 participants in 815 programs for a total of 102,210 contact hours. The consortium proposes to address the potential for illness and injury directly or indirectly related to hazardous material exposure by conducting training in health and safety. We will address occupational and environmental health disparities by continuing and expanding collaborative partnerships with community groups and other NIEHS-WTP grantees for the purpose of delivering health and safety training to underserved populations. The opioid crisis will be addressed by developing and delivering population-specific curricula that address treatment and prevention of opioid addiction, including alternatives for pain management. In addition, we propose to develop, pilot, evaluate, and scale a peer recovery support program that will help workers seek services to address opioid addiction. All of the above programs will be evaluated to provide feedback for continual improvement of curricula and delivery methods. This will include monitoring trainee perceptions of quality, appropriateness, and usefulness as well as assessing new curricula and training delivery methods; evaluating the long-term impact of training on worker and organizational outcomes using innovative and conventional quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods. Worker- evaluators will be incorporated into evaluation when possible.

程序摘要/摘要 国际联盟，UAW及其合作伙伴提议解决三个问题。第一个 是直接或与危险物质直接或间接相关的疾病和伤害的潜力 接触。第二个是占领和环境健康分布，尤其是 影响密歇根州东南部的西班牙裔/拉丁裔人口。第三个问题是阿片类药物 流行病，一个新兴的环境健康问题。 为了解决第一个问题，我们将继续开发一个正在进行的程序 最高目标是通过提供有关健康和安全培训来防止疾病和伤害 与潜在的进化和/或降低直接或间接相关的主题 暴露于危险材料。美国的UAW成员暴露于 各种各样的危害。制造工人可以面临接触致癌物的暴露 焊接烟气和六价铬和新兴危害，例如工程 纳米材料（ENM）。赌场雇用的成员通常会大量暴露于致癌 烟草烟。在医疗保健和学术实验室中，工会成员可以接触到血源 病原体，消毒剂，放射性同位素和/或新兴危害，例如ENM。 UAW 已经与波多黎各大学建立了合作伙伴关系，为 联盟在岛上有六千名活跃成员仍在处理 玛丽亚飓风。 第二个问题是东南部的占领和环境健康分布 密歇根州，西班牙裔/拉丁裔人口包括许多人不利的人 环境不公正，不太正规的教育，有限的英语水平和/或有限 进入培训。 UAW正在与为西班牙裔/拉丁裔服务的两个合作伙伴合作 密歇根州东南部的社区，密歇根州东南部的天主教慈善机构 - 西班牙裔 外展服务（CCSEM/HOS）和La Casa Guadalupana。这些人口中的许多是 进行美化或农业工作时暴露于农药，二氧化硅和其他灰尘 在管家工作或 育儿。有些在户外工作，在户外暴露于极端温度，紫外线辐射 和/或空气污染物。他们可能每周工作6-7天，以季节为特征 不稳定性，不稳定时间，低薪和身体有害或危险的工作条件。 第三个问题是阿片类药物危机，它影响了许多UAW成员，尤其是在 制造业。 在赠款的第一年，UAW及其合作伙伴共同提议培训2,661 参加163个计划的参与者总共有20,442个接触时间。五年的总数是 13,305名参与者参加了815个计划，共有102,210个接触时间。财团 提议直接或间接地解决疾病和伤害的潜力 通过进行健康和安全培训通过培训。我们将解决职业 以及通过继续和扩大协作合作伙伴关系来分配环境健康分布 与社区团体和其他NIEHS-WTP Grandes一起提供健康 和对服务不足的人群的安全培训。阿片类药物危机将由 开发和提供针对治疗和预防的人群特定课程 阿片类药物成瘾，包括疼痛管理的替代方法。此外，我们建议 制定，试点，评估和扩展同行恢复支持计划，以帮助工人寻求 解决阿片类药物成瘾的服务。 上述所有程序将进行评估，以提供反馈以持续改进 课程和交付方法。这将包括监视学员对质量的看法， 适当性，有用性以及评估新课程和培训交付 方法;评估培训对工人和组织成果的长期影响 使用创新和常规定量和定性评估方法。工人- 在可能的情况下，评估者将被纳入评估中。
