What this research studies
This project will expand New Hampshire’s occupational health surveillance capacity by analyzing data on injuries, illnesses, and hazards and by connecting multiple data sources. It will identify workers at highest risk by industry, occupation, and work status, and will use information from surveys and public health data to guide prevention and intervention efforts. Partnerships with state agencies and nonprofits will help translate findings into workplace policies and programs that protect workers returning to work after health events.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the project could lead to better prevention and intervention strategies in workplaces, helping reduce injuries, substance use issues, and deaths among workers.
How similar studies have gone: Similar surveillance programs have helped identify at-risk groups and guide interventions, with ongoing improvements in workplace health reporting.
