NIOSH Risk-Based Model to Resume Field Research and Public Health Service in 2020 During the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Johns DO , Yeoman KM , Harney JM , Howard J , Poplin GS . Am J Public Health 2022 112 (8) e1-e4 In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, field research and public health service work conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) was put on hold. During this time, NIOSH developed a risk-based model to resume fieldwork, balancing the public health benefit of such fieldwork with the risks of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 exposure and transmission. We describe our experiences with this model, along with the broader public health significance of the methods used to inform risk management decisions. (Am J Public Health.

Current knowledge of U.S. metal and nonmetal miner health: current and potential data sources for analysis of miner health status
Yeoman KM , Halldin CN , Wood J , Storey E , Johns D , Laney AS . Arch Environ Occup Health 2015 71 (2) 119-26 Little is known about the current health status of U.S. metal and nonmetal (MNM) miners in part because no health surveillance systems exist for this population. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is developing a program to characterize burden of disease among MNM miners. This report discusses current knowledge and potential data sources of MNM miner health. Recent national surveys were analyzed, and literature specific to MNM miner health status was reviewed. No robust estimates of disease prevalence were identified, and national surveys did not provide information specific to MNM miners. Because substantial gaps exist in the understanding of MNM miners' current health status, NIOSH plans to develop a health surveillance program for this population to guide intervention efforts to reduce occupational and personal risks for chronic illness. |
