What this research studies
This project aims to enhance training programs at Ohio University by adding a new Occupational Health Psychology (OHP) program alongside the existing Occupational Safety (OS) curriculum. The initiative focuses on preparing students to become skilled safety professionals through interdisciplinary training that includes aging workers, data analysis, and new technologies. By expanding the PhD offerings, the program seeks to develop researchers and practitioners who can effectively address workplace health and safety challenges. This training will create a hub for Total Worker Health® research and education.
