结论 | Direct Action and Extramural Funding Mechanisms Tend to Show Higher Achievability and Feasibility Than Do Actions That Depend on Partner Capabilities for Implementation
Two Actions Had High Feasibility and Desirability Scores
|
摘要 | Agriculture remains one of America's oldest and most valued industries, but is also one of the most hazardous, with farmworkers experiencing high rates of injuries and illnesses. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing (AgFF) Program provides leadership to prevent harm to workers in the three named sectors. Since its inception, the AgFF Program has spearheaded numerous surveillance initiatives to understand the magnitude of injuries and illnesses among agricultural worker populations, identify vulnerable groups, and evaluate the effectiveness of intervention measures. ,In 2012, the program underwent a review from an independent panel convened to evaluate progress in program relevance and impact. While the panel offered a number of recommendations for improving surveillance, it provided little guidance on how to prioritize and achieve the recommendations. In 2015, NIOSH asked the RAND Corporation to assess options for action in response to panel recommendations. The goal of this report is to provide NIOSH with a practical assessment of the feasibility and desirability of carrying out actions to meet surveillance-related panel recommendations, given current AgFF Program resources and priorities. ,The authors conducted literature reviews and targeted interviews to detail how actions could be implemented and identify barriers to their achievement. For each action, the authors applied criteria relevant to assessing feasibility (costs, partnership engagement, information availability and accessibility, policy barriers, timelines) and desirability (relevance to program priorities, information quality, and impact). Overall, the report identifies a number of actions that balanced both feasibility and desirability for NIOSH to consider as it determines the direction of the AgFF Program. |
