Dear Colleague,****
The Occupational Health Internship Program (OHIP) is a NIOSH-funded
training program designed to bring new people into the occupational health
and safety field. This successful summer program, now in its 10th year, is
designed as a field-based learning experience. Students work with labor
unions or community-based organizations on a variety of important health
and safety issues. ****
Do you know a student who is interested in learning more about occupational
health -- a student currently in the public health, nursing or medicine
track or an energetic and curious student interested in economic and social
disparities or environmental issues? If so, please forward this
announcement and the attached recruitment flyer to any prospective
candidates.****
** **
Students can apply to work in any of the following cities, regardless of
where they now reside: Los Angeles, the Bay Area, San Diego, Seattle,
Chicago, Boston and New York City. Supervision and mentorship is provided
by senior occupational health researchers.****
****
*The deadline to apply is March 18, 2013.*
** **
The program is open both to undergraduates (3rd and 4th year) and graduate
students. A stipend is provided for the 9-week experience ($4,000 for
undergraduates, $5,200 for graduates (no housing allowance but we can
assist those relocating for the summer to find temporary housing)).****
** **
More information about the program, and how to apply, can be obtained at
the OHIP website at www.aoec.org/ohip.****
** **
Please contact me (mlondon(a)pef.org), Administrative Program Coordinator
Ingrid Denis (idenis(a)aoec.org), or the National Program Coordinator Sarah
Jacobs (sjacobs(a)irle.ucla.edu) if you have any questions.****

Dear TRB H+T friends,
The deadline for submitting synthesis proposals is coming up soon and
various groups have mentioned that they are preparing proposals related to
health and transportation. This is wonderful, and we should probably
coordinate to maximize the effectiveness of each proposal. We don't want
them to be duplicative of each other, or other work that is already going
on.
Andy Dannenberg, Ed Christopher, and I are writing one about the use of
cost-benefit analysis to evaluate the health costs/benefits of
transportation plans and projects.
What else is out there? Please write to me directly, or to the whole
listserv, to share your topics, and we can work together.
More soon,
Carey

New York City's Active Design Guidelines: Process and Best Practices
[1 AICP Credit typically available per webinar. Visit www.planning.org to add the webinar to your CM log.]

New York City's Active Design Guidelines: Process and Best Practices

Register at http://goo.gl/vekva
Can transformations in the built environment inspire people to be more physically active, and make our communities healthier? According to a growing body of research, the answer is yes. The 'Active Design Guidelines' developed for New York City translate this knowledge into concrete strategies for a healthier, more sustainable future. Designers, planners, developers, and operations managers can adapt the Guidelines to their own projects to promote physical activity and help counteract the most pressing health epidemics of our time - poor physical fitness and obesity and their relationship to chronic diseases such as diabetes.
'New York City's Active Design Guidelines' is a 1-hour presentation and discussion session that will:
* explore the relationship between health and the built environment;
* provide an overview of the Guidelines and its list of urban design and building design strategies;
* examine synergies between Active Design, environmental sustainability, and universal design;
* share details on the LEED Innovation Credit for Physical Activity; and
* highlight best practices and current planning and policy initiatives.

The 2013 Annual Meeting theme is Think Global, Act Local with a focus on best practices around the world. APHA encourages abstracts in all areas of public health as well as those focusing on the theme. Specific topic areas for each group can be found online.
An easy-to-use online form will walk you through the process step by step. General information as well as abstract requirements can be found on the Call for Abstracts page. You do not need to be an APHA member to submit an abstract. However, if your abstract is accepted for presentation, the presenting author MUST become an APHA individual member and MUST register for the Annual Meeting by the September pre-registration deadline. (APHA Learning Institute faculty are excluded.)
For more information about the APHA Annual Meeting, go to www.apha.org/meetings/AnnualMeeting.
A few years ago the Nashville Area MPO conducted an informal survey of bicyclists to find out about unreported crashes and how many crashes were caused by interaction with a vehicle vs. gravel on the road, fixed object, etc. We received around 600 responses. I am not aware of a way to collect information about unreported crashes other than doing something like this survey, which is far from perfect but at least provides some insight.

I would submit that another likely cause for a rise in bike injuries is lack of attention to and compliance with rules of the road by bicyclists. Who among has not noticed bicyclists running red lights, not stopping for stop lights, weaving through traffic, not using hand signals, etc?

Subject: [H+T--Friends] bike injuries
Ed:
In SF, we have also observed a very high proportion of bike injuries going unreported. Rochelle Dicker, cc'd above and head of the SFGHMC trauma unit, has done some thinking and analysis on this issue using hospital records.
As you know, SF has had a fairly agressive bike infrastructure program with strong political support. Bicycling behavior has increased substantially over the past decade as evidenced by serial bike counts. Unfortunately, reported bike collision injury frequency almost doubled over the past 5 or
6 years despite the investments in bike facilities. Potential culprits here could be the co-location of bike facilities on arterials, newer riders, and the lack of reduction in vehicle traffic. The confluence of new infrastructure, growth in riders, growth in injuries suggest that SF may be a good place to study the safety effects of new bike infrastructure in an existing urban context.
Locally, we are also very interested in redesigning our traffic injury surveillence system to integrate hospital, police, and ambulence records and add public health / environmental surveillence components. There are some good models in other countries. We have political committment and data sharing agreements but lack $$ -- I am told that local transportation $$ coming to cities cannot be used for such purposes.

Subject: [H+T--Friends] A Data Question Sent by: h+t--friends-bounces(a)chrispy.net
It was nice to see everyone at TRB. While there I was in a discussion about the probably that bike crashes that result in injuries might be under represented in our crash data. Especially when you consider that a high percentage of the crashes do not involve a motor vehicle and never make it to police records. If i were trying to get a handle on this at a regional or state level are there any "non-traditional" sources of data like hospital records that can be used. Anyone doing any work in this area?
This is becoming ever so important as we see more and mode shifting going on.
