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疾病，而三分之一的人因此失去了工作时间。工人薪酬福利每年使公司损失417亿美元，而农业是最危险的行业之一。为了防止这种伤害，美国公司每年花费在55至600亿美元之间，为估计的6000万员工提供近20亿小时的培训，其中很大一部分针对员工的安全和健康。培训是教授工人安全工作并采用安全工作实践的基础，而主管培训以提供积极的反馈加强了适当的工作实践（行为）。该申请是由大学的研究团队和一个基于社区的卫生诊所（Tuality Healthcare Foundation）提出的，该诊所服务于农业（尤其是葡萄园）工作的西班牙裔人口。该项目基于一个为西班牙裔人口提供基于计算机的培训的托儿所的工作，该项目将检验以下假设：有效且基于计算机的有效且基于计算机的培训以及主管的反馈和偶然的加强可以在西班牙裔工人中提供安全和健康的工作实践，并没有有限的教育和没有计算机的经验，并维持一年的工作实践。该干预措施将在三个葡萄园中引入，但及时滞后以提供一种控制历史，成熟和序列效应的实验设计。 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).此外，我们将制定一项计划，教授西班牙裔农民工人接受一系列教育，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传递培训中学习的技能所需的背景教育和经验。最后，将教授基于社区的组织（Isalud！），以开发和评估培训计划的有效性，然后使用基于科学的原则开发，实施和评估结果并发布结果。
