DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Every year, 6 million Americans suffer an injury or illness on the job, and one-third of them lose work time because of it. Worker's compensation benefits cost companies $41.7 billion per year, and agriculture is one of the most dangerous industry sectors. To prevent such injuries, US corporations spend between $55 and $60 billion per year to provide almost 2 billion hours of training to an estimated 60 million employees, a significant portion of which is directed to employee safety and health. Training is the essential base for teaching workers to work safely and adopt safe work practices, and supervisor training to provide positive feedback reinforces the appropriate work practices (behaviors). This application is proposed by a University based research team and a community-based health clinic (iSalud! of Tuality HealthCare Foundation) serving the Hispanic population working in agriculture, especially vineyards. Building on work in a nursery that produced computer-based training for a Hispanic population with 0-16 years of education, this project will test the hypothesis that: effective and cost-efficient computer-based training coupled with supervisor feedback and contingent reinforcement can produce safe and healthful work practices in Hispanic workers with limited education and no computer experience, and maintain those work practices for a year. The intervention will be introduced in three vineyards but lagged in time to provide an experimental design that controls for history, maturation and sequence effects. Success will be measured by changes in (1) knowledge of appropriate (safe) work practices, (2) directly observed workplace behaviors (checklist), (3) objective strain and physiologic effort (heart rate) measures, (4) workers' compensation claims, and (5) by questionnaires and structured interviews (thus measuring all of Kirkpatrick's 4 levels of training evaluation-- reactions, learning, behavior, and results). In addition, we will develop a program to teach Hispanic farmworkers with a range of education to learn from internet-based training, to evaluate the background education and experience needed to support the skills to complete and learn from internet-delivered training. Finally, the community-based organization (iSalud!) will be taught the skills to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a training program, and then develop, implement and assess the results using science-based principles and publish the findings.

描述（由申请人提供）：每年有 600 万美国人在工作中受伤或患病，其中三分之一因此而失去工作时间。工人赔偿福利每年给公司造成 417 亿美元的损失，而农业是最危险的行业之一。为了防止此类伤害，美国企业每年花费 55 至 600 亿美元为约 6000 万名员工提供近 20 亿小时的培训，其中很大一部分针对员工的安全和健康。培训是教导工人安全工作和采取安全工作实践的重要基础，而提供积极反馈的主管培训则强化了适当的工作实践（行为）。该应用程序由大学研究团队和社区健康诊所（Tuality HealthCare 基金会的 iSalud！）提出，为从事农业（尤其是葡萄园）工作的西班牙裔人口提供服务。该项目以托儿所为受过 0-16 年教育的西班牙裔人口提供基于计算机的培训的工作为基础，将检验以下假设：有效且具有成本效益的基于计算机的培训加上主管反馈和应急强化可以产生为受教育程度有限且没有计算机经验的西班牙裔工人提供安全和健康的工作实践，并将这些工作实践保持一年。该干预措施将在三个葡萄园中引入，但时间滞后，无法提供控制历史、成熟和序列效应的实验设计。成功将通过以下方面的变化来衡量：(1) 对适当（安全）工作实践的了解，(2) 直接观察到的工作场所行为（清单），(3) 客观压力和生理努力（心率）测量，(4) 工人补偿(5) 通过问卷调查和结构化访谈（从而衡量柯克帕特里克的所有 4 个培训评估级别——反应、学习、行为和结果）。此外，我们将制定一项计划，为西班牙裔农场工人提供一系列教育，以从基于互联网的培训中学习，以评估支持完成和从互联网提供的培训中学习的技能所需的背景教育和经验。最后，社区组织（iSalud！）将学习开发和评估培训计划有效性的技能，然后使用基于科学的原则开发、实施和评估结果并发布研究结果。
