Newman LS , Scott JG , Childress A , Linnan L , Newhall WJ , McLellan DL , Campo S , Freewynn S , Hammer LB , Leff M , Macy G , Maples EH , Rogers B , Rohlman DS , Tenney L , Watkins C . J Occup Environ Med 2020 62 (8) e384-e391 OBJECTIVE: Establishment of core competencies for education and training of professionals entering the emerging field of Total Worker Health(R). METHODS: Compilation and distillation of information obtained over a five-year period from Total Worker Health symposia, workshops, and academic offerings, plus contributions from key stakeholders regarding education and training needs. RESULTS: A proposed set of Total Worker Health competencies aligns under six broad domains: Subject Matter Expertise; Advocacy and Engagement; Program Planning, Implementation and Evaluation; Communications and Dissemination; Leadership and Management; and Partnership Building and Coordination. CONCLUSIONS: Proposed set of core competencies will help standardize education and training for professionals being trained in Total Worker Health. It serves as an invitation for further input from stakeholders in academia, business, labor, and government. |
Total Worker Health(R) 2014-2018: The novel approach to worker safety, health, and well-being evolves
Tamers SL , Chosewood LC , Childress A , Hudson H , Nigam J , Chang CC . Int J Environ Res Public Health 2019 16 (3) Background: The objective of this article is to provide an overview of and update on the Office for Total Worker Health((R)) (TWH) program of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (CDC/NIOSH). Methods: This article describes the evolution of the TWH program from 2014 to 2018 and future steps and directions. Results: The TWH framework is defined as policies, programs, and practices that integrate protection from work-related safety and health hazards with promotion of injury and illness prevention efforts to advance worker well-being. Conclusions: The CDC/NIOSH TWH program continues to evolve in order to respond to demands for research, practice, policy, and capacity building information and solutions to the safety, health, and well-being challenges that workers and their employers face. |

J Occup Environ Med 2018 60 (11) 968-978 OBJECTIVE: There is growing interest in the NIOSH Total Worker Health program, specifically in the process of designing and implementing safer, health-promoting work and workplaces. A Total Worker Health (TWH) Research Methodology Workshop was convened to discuss research methods and future needs. METHODS: Twenty-six experts in occupational safety and health and related fields reviewed and discussed current methodological and measurement issues and those showing promise. RESULTS: TWH intervention studies face the same challenges as other workplace intervention studies and some unique ones. Examples are provided of different approaches and their applications to TWH intervention studies, and desired developments in the TWH literature. CONCLUSIONS: This report discusses and outlines principles important to building the TWH intervention research base. Rigorous, valid methodologic, and measurement approaches are needed for TWH intervention as well as for basic/etiologic, translational, and surveillance research. |
