Project Summary In 2014, the world faced the largest Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in history. While there have only been four confirmed cases of EVD diagnosed in the United States, serious health and safety concerns for healthcare, public safety, and support service personnel have been raised. In the event of an Ebola outbreak, the responsibility for patient transfer, assessment, and testing will fall on the local healthcare and public safety systems. The Deep South region (Mississippi, Alabama, and the Florida Panhandle) contains a large number of medically underserved areas, health professional shortage areas, and health departments with limited budgets and limited access to professional occupational health and safety training programs. This has resulted in gaps in knowledge and skills in risk reduction and infection control procedures within the workforce. The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Deep South Biosafety and Infectious Disease Response Training Consortium (Deep South Consortium) proposes to develop and implement safety and health trainings for public safety and healthcare workers, including individuals not working in direct patient care roles who may be at risk during infectious disease outbreaks in the Deep South region. The goal of this program is to provide integrated public health, medical, occupational health, and worker safety trainings that will equip workers with the skills and knowledge needed to protect themselves and their communities from potential exposure to contaminated materials or infected individuals whom they may encounter. Trainings will provide information on how infectious diseases are spread in the work environments and what measures can be taken to shield themselves from potential exposure. Additional trainings will provide information on infection control measures, other worker protection protocols, and practical, hands-on training using personal protective equipment in order to improve the skills and confidence of the workforce in responding to an Ebola or infectious disease threat. A Train-the-Trainer module will provide instructors with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to conduct trainings within their own organizations as well as to others in their field. This new cadre of workers will have the knowledge and skills necessary to meet the growing demands of the Deep South workforce. Overall, this program will allow training resources to be made available across the region and prepare workers to respond to public health crises and disasters.

项目概要 2014年，世界面临历史上最大规模的埃博拉病毒病（EVD）疫情。 虽然美国仅诊断出四例埃博拉病毒病确诊病例， 对医疗保健、公共安全和支持服务人员的严重健康和安全问题 已被提出。如果埃博拉疫情爆发，患者转移的责任， 评估和测试将由当地医疗保健和公共安全系统负责。深渊 南部地区（密西西比州、阿拉巴马州和佛罗里达州狭长地带）拥有大量 医疗服务欠缺地区、卫生专业人员短缺地区以及卫生部门 预算有限，获得专业职业健康和安全培训的机会也有限 程序。这导致了减少风险和感染方面的知识和技能方面的差距 员工内部的控制程序。阿拉巴马大学伯明翰分校 (UAB) 深 南方生物安全和传染病应对培训联盟（深南 联盟）提议为公共安全制定和实施安全与健康培训 和医护人员，包括不直接从事患者护理工作的个人，他们可能 在南部腹地地区传染病爆发期间面临风险。此举的目标 该计划旨在提供综合的公共卫生、医疗、职业健康和工人安全 培训将使工人具备保护自己和保护自己所需的技能和知识 他们的社区可能接触受污染的材料或受感染的个人 他们可能会遇到谁。培训将提供有关传染病如何发生的信息 在工作环境中传播以及可以采取哪些措施来保护自己 潜在接触。额外的培训将提供有关感染控制措施的信息， 其他工人保护协议，以及使用个人防护用品的实际操作培训 设备，以提高员工应对突发事件的技能和信心 埃博拉或传染病威胁。培训师培训模块将为讲师提供 在自己的组织内进行培训所需的知识、技能和工具 至于他们领域的其他人。这支新的工人干部将具备知识和技能 满足南方腹地劳动力日益增长的需求是必要的。总体而言，该计划将 允许在整个地区提供培训资源并帮助工人做好应对准备 公共卫生危机和灾难。
