We assessed the efficacy of trainings with Vietnamese nail salon owners and workers on knowledge and behaviors that could reduce exposures to toxic chemicals in nail products.
We trained Vietnamese salon owners in California (n = 77) who then trained their workers (n = 200) on best practices. In a cluster randomized controlled trial, we assessed the efficacy of the training on change in knowledge and self-reported behaviors. Data were collected from 2013 to 2016 and analyzed from 2016 to 2017.
Compared to the control group, the intervention group had significantly greater increases in knowledge about: safer nail polishes [odds ratio (OR) 3.7 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.9, 7.2)]; proper ventilation methods (OR 4.2; 95% CI 2.2, 8.1); recommended glove types (OR 3.4; 95% CI 1.9, 6.3); and recommended product handling and storage (OR 4.1; 95% CI 1.7, 9.9). The intervention also increased best practices: using safer nail polishes (OR 3.6; 95% CI 1.9, 6.8); reading product labels (OR 2.6; 95% CI 1.3, 5.0); and wearing long sleeves (OR 2.4; 95% CI 1.3, 4.2).
The owner-to-worker intervention with culturally and linguistically appropriate training for salon owners who then trained workers was effective in promoting knowledge and self-reported behaviors that can reduce workplace chemical exposures.
我们评估了针对越南美甲沙龙业主和员工的培训效果，这些培训旨在增强他们对美甲产品中有毒化学物质的认识，并改善他们的行为。
我们在加利福尼亚州培训了越南沙龙业主（n=77），然后由他们培训其员工（n=200），传授最佳实践。在一项整群随机对照试验中，我们评估了培训对知识和自我报告行为变化的效果。数据收集于 2013 年至 2016 年，分析于 2016 年至 2017 年。
与对照组相比，干预组在以下方面的知识显著增加：更安全的指甲油[优势比（OR）3.7（95%置信区间（CI）1.9，7.2）]；正确的通风方法（OR 4.2；95% CI 2.2，8.1）；推荐的手套类型（OR 3.4；95% CI 1.9，6.3）；以及推荐的产品处理和储存（OR 4.1；95% CI 1.7，9.9）。干预措施还增加了最佳实践：使用更安全的指甲油（OR 3.6；95% CI 1.9，6.8）；阅读产品标签（OR 2.6；95% CI 1.3，5.0）；以及穿长袖（OR 2.4；95% CI 1.3，4.2）。
针对沙龙业主的文化和语言适宜性培训，并由业主培训员工，这种业主-员工干预措施在促进知识和自我报告行为方面是有效的，这些行为可以减少工作场所的化学暴露。
