The Occupational Motor Vehicle Injury Surveillance (OMVIS) program received a competitive award from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to develop a surveillance system to:
-
identify, collect, and describe current and potential comprehensive multisource surveillance data on all occupational motor vehicle injury crashes (fatal and nonfatal) in Kentucky;
-
perform quality control of OMVIS surveillance data through a system quality assessment of timeliness, accuracy, completeness, uniformity, integration potential, and accessibility following the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approach;
-
conduct epidemiological analysis of OMVIS data to address occupational motor vehicle crashes and identify specific industry populations at risk;
-
inform intervention, prevention, and surveillance improvement activities;
-
stimulate future research; and
-
prepare and disseminate OMV injury research findings using NIOSH publications and communications, peer-reviewed publications, and presentations to trade associations.
