Research suggests Hispanic workers underreport injuries/illnesses to their employer.
The National Electronic Injury Surveillance System-occupational supplement was used to conduct a follow-back study of workers treated in emergency departments (EDs) from June 2012 through December 2013.
An estimated 448,000 (95%CI 230,000-665,000) Hispanic workers treated in EDs for a work-related injury or illness were represented by 362 completed interviews. Of these, an estimated 443,000 (95%CI 228,000-657,000) workers reported the injury or illness to their employer or were self-employed. The majority had not heard of workers' compensation. Only 10% expected workers' compensation to cover their medical payment while 62% expected payment to be covered by their employer.
We characterized our respondent workforce who reported their injury or illness. We determined that NEISS-Work data are not the most appropriate source to capture underreporting of work-related injuries and illnesses to employers among Hispanic workers. Am. J. Ind.

研究表明，西班牙裔工人向雇主少报工伤/疾病情况。
利用国家电子伤害监测系统职业补充数据，对2012年6月至2013年12月期间在急诊科接受治疗的工人进行追踪研究。
通过362份完整访谈，代表了估计44.8万（95%置信区间23万 - 66.5万）在急诊科因工伤或疾病接受治疗的西班牙裔工人。其中，估计44.3万（95%置信区间22.8万 - 65.7万）工人向雇主报告了工伤或疾病情况，或者是个体经营者。大多数人没有听说过工伤赔偿。只有10%的人期望工伤赔偿涵盖他们的医疗费用，而62%的人期望费用由雇主支付。
我们对报告了工伤或疾病情况的受访劳动力进行了特征描述。我们确定，国家电子伤害监测系统职业补充数据并非获取西班牙裔工人向雇主少报工伤和疾病情况的最合适来源。《美国工业医学杂志》59:621 - 629，2016年。© 2016威利期刊公司。
