DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In 2004, the National Institute of Occupational Health made an unprecedented commitment to a large, marginalized and understudied workforce-namely, home health care workers. This proposal requests one year of funding to present the findings from the projects and other occupational health hazards. The purpose of this proposed conference is to: 1) communicate and disseminate the research teams finding on blood/body fluid exposures, 2) communicate and disseminate research teams findings on other occupational health risks in this workforce, 3) to communicate and disseminate information on the intersection of patient and worker safety in the home care setting, 4) provide a forum for stakeholder's input and feedback, and 5) identify potential interventions, research gaps, and translational (research into action) needs based on the research findings. The one-day conference will be held in New York City at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and is expected to draw 100 participants, including novice, intermediate and advanced researchers, as well as home health care workers and administrators, and key stakeholders. The findings from the aforementioned study will be presented during both plenary and round table sessions, built around three similar themes, namely1) bloodborne pathogen exposure and risk factors, 2) other occupational hazards in home health care, and 3) the relationship between occupational health in home care and patient outcomes. Break-out sessions followed by rapporteur reports will allow for input from a wide range of stakeholders, including front line workers. Funding will be used for travel and infrastructure to support a conference, including minimal staff support. The conference organizers plan to publish a joint paper on the conference proceedings, to be disseminated widely. The proposed conference has received agreement letters from the key speakers, as well as from NIOSH representatives. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Funding for this conference is requested to allow for researchers funded under "OH-04-003: Incidence of Needlesticks And Sharps Injuries And Medical Safety Device Availability/Use Among Non-Hospital Health Care Workers" to present their findings to each other and to key stakeholders. This will allow for feedback, input, and advice regarding translation of research into action.

描述（由申请人提供）：2004 年，美国国家职业健康研究所对大量、边缘化和未充分研究的劳动力（即家庭保健工作者）做出了前所未有的承诺。该提案要求提供一年的资金来展示项目的调查结果和其他职业健康危害。本次拟议会议的目的是：1) 交流和传播研究小组关于血液/体液暴露的发现，2) 交流和传播研究小组关于该劳动力中其他职业健康风险的发现，3) 交流和传播有关以下方面的信息：家庭护理环境中患者和工人安全的交叉点，4) 为利益相关者的意见和反馈提供论坛，5) 根据研究确定潜在的干预措施、研究差距和转化（研究转化为行动）需求调查结果。这次为期一天的会议将在纽约市哥伦比亚大学梅尔曼公共卫生学院举行，预计将吸引 100 名与会者，包括新手、中级和高级研究人员，以及家庭保健工作者和管理人员以及主要利益相关者。上述研究的结果将在全体会议和圆桌会议上公布，围绕三个相似的主题，即 1) 血源性病原体暴露和危险因素，2) 家庭保健中的其他职业危害，以及 3) 职业健康之间的关系家庭护理和患者治疗结果。报告员报告后的分组会议将允许包括一线工作人员在内的广泛利益相关者提出意见。资金将用于支持会议的差旅和基础设施，包括最低限度的工作人员支持。会议组织者计划出版一份关于会议记录的联合论文，并广泛传播。拟议的会议已收到主要发言人以及 NIOSH 代表的同意函。 公共健康相关性：请求为本次会议提供资金，以便允许“OH-04-003：针刺和锐器伤害的发生率以及非医院医护人员中医疗安全装置的可用性/使用”资助的研究人员向每个人展示他们的发现其他和主要利益相关者。这将提供有关将研究转化为行动的反馈、意见和建议。
