We developed an online training module targeting nail salon workers' knowledge of chemical exposure and safety, responding directly to the workers' expressed needs in a Midwest State.
Following a needs assessment, we designed and developed the module content. Implementation and evaluation approaches were rolled out into three phases.
Seven workers completed the English version of the module, and 24 workers completed the Vietnamese version. The average pretest scores for those who completed the English and Vietnamese versions of the training were 81.43% and 58.33%, respectively. The average posttest score was 98.57% for English and 91.67% for Vietnamese.
Culturally appropriate educational resources are effective facets of enhancing nail salon workers' awareness and their occupational health subsequently.

在需求评估之后，我们设计并开发了模块内容。实施和评估方法分为三个阶段展开。
七名工人完成了英文版模块，24 名工人完成了越文版模块。完成英语和越语版本培训的人的平均预测试分数分别为 81.43%和 58.33%。英语和越南语的平均后测分数分别为 98.57%和 91.67%。
文化上适当的教育资源是提高美甲沙龙工人意识及其随后职业健康的有效方面。
