The purpose of this paper is to describe and evaluate a web-based, educational Health Risk Calculator that communicates the value of investing in employee health and well-being for the prevention of work-related injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.
We developed and evaluated the calculator following the RE-AIM framework. We assessed effectiveness via focus groups (n = 15) and a post-use survey (n = 33) and reach via website analytics.
We observed evidence for the calculator's usability, educational benefit, and encouragement of action to improve worker health and safety. Website analytics data demonstrated that we reached over 300 users equally in urban and rural areas within 3 months after launch.
We urge researchers to consider the ways in which they can communicate their empirical research findings to their key stakeholders and to evaluate their communication efforts.
本文旨在描述和评估一个基于网络的教育性健康风险计算器，该计算器用于传达为预防与工作相关的伤害、疾病和死亡而投资于员工健康和福利的价值。
我们遵循 RE-AIM 框架开发并评估了该计算器。我们通过焦点小组（n=15）和使用后调查（n=33）评估了其有效性，并通过网站分析评估了其可达性。
我们观察到计算器具有可用性、教育效益，并鼓励采取行动来改善工人的健康和安全。网站分析数据表明，在发布后 3 个月内，我们在城市和农村地区各有超过 300 名用户。
我们敦促研究人员考虑如何将他们的实证研究结果传达给他们的主要利益相关者，并评估他们的沟通工作。
