Conclusions: Participatory training was more effective in improving KAP scores than didactic training. Participatory training could reduce occurrence of injury and sick leave, but not MSD at one year follow up. The cost-benefit ratio of participatory training was better compared to didactic training. The participatory training could be recommended for training frontline workers. / In the year after training, the incidence rates of injury events reduced from 144.5 per 1,000 person-years to 73.5 per 1,000 person-years (Z=3.199, p<0.001) in intervention group. No statistical significances were found for injury reduction in control groups. The proportions of workers taking sick leave reduced from 32.0% to 24.6% in intervention group ( chi 2=5.609, p=0.018), but didn't reduce significantly in control groups (p>0.05). The MSD prevalence rates didn't reduce significantly in intervention and control groups (p>0.05). / Keywords: Frontline worker, Participatory training, Occupational health and safety, Randomized controlled trial, Evaluation / Methods: A randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted among frontline workers in Shenzhen, China from June 2008 to May 2010. The impact of the training programs was assessed with knowledge attitude and practice (KAP), experiences in work-related injury, sick leave and musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) at baseline and one year after training. Chi square test and two-proportion Z test were applied to compare the occurrence of injury, sick leave and MSD in different groups. / Objectives: To find out whether participatory training is effective in improving occupational health and safety (OHS); to see if participatory training is more effective than didactic training in improving OHS; and to document whether participatory training has a better cost-benefit ratio than didactic training. / Results: 918 intervention workers received participatory training and 2,561 control workers received didactic training. The follow up rates at three-month and one-year after training were 71.1% (2,473/3,479) and 56.3% (1,321/2,347), respectively. / The average baseline KAP scores of 64.9+/-15.0, 63.5+/-14.7 and 78.1+/-18.0 improved significantly at immediate evaluation (82.7+/-12.3, 71.9+/-12.4 and 90.6+/-12.7), at three months (79.3+/-11.5, 73.9+/-10.6 and 91.7+/-9.6), and at one-year after training (76.7+/-12.1, 72.0+/-10.3 and 88.9+/-10.8) in three groups. / The cost-benefit ratios were 1:1.20 for participatory training and 1:1.06 for didactic training if the cost savings were calculated with median costs and workdays lost. The cost-benefit ratios were 1:2.36 for participatory training and 1:1.97 for didactic training if the cost savings were calculated with mean costs and workdays lost. / Yu, Wenzhou. / Adviser: Ignatius T.S.

Background A dramatic increasing trend of HIV prevalence among men who have sex with men (MSM) was observed in China from 2000. Most previous investigations were based on convenience sampling and none of them differentiated money boys (MB) from other MSMs. The objectives of this study was to determine the prevalence of HIV infection and its risk factors among MSMs in Shenzhen, China, using approximate probability sampling methods; and to interpret HIV transmission pattern among MSMs with both phylogenetical and epidemiological information. / Conclusions The prevalence of MV infection in Shenzhen MSMs was similar to the national rate in MSMs. HIV infection and related characteristics in Mf3s and other MSMs were different, indicating that a separate analysis was necessary. TLS could provide information on venue comparisons for venue-based MSMs and RDS could recruit more hidden subjects. Results from this study suggest that venue-specific intervention approaches should be developed and provided to different venues. / Results HIV prevalence was 5.5% among MSMs in Shenzhen. A significantly lower HIV infection was observed in MBs (4.5%) compared with other MSMs (7.0%). The HIV infection rate among MSMs was 5.7% by TLS and 4.6% by RDS, which were not significantly different. Factors related to HIV infection in MSMs included syphilis infection, occupation, sexual orientation, venue for recruitment and hometown HIV prevalence. HIV rate and social-behavioral characteristics were found to vary with venues, with significantly higher rates in family clubs, parks and saunas, than entertainment venue. Molecular phylogenetical analysis showed that genetic clusters were related to receptive anal intercourse, short stay in Shenzhen, early age of first sex, and high hometown HIV prevalence. Venue-specific transmission chains were observed in 60% of the subjects. / Subjects and Methods A total of 2143 MSMs were recruited in Shenzhen from 2008 to 2009, including 1651 persons from time-location sampling (TLS) and 492 from respondent-driven sampling (RDS). A separate recruitment of MBs and other MSMs was applied in TLS surveys and a mixed sample of MSMs was applied in RDS. All subjects were interviewed and had blood tests for HIV and syphilis. HIV positive samples were further used for phylogenetic analysis. / Zhao, Jin / Adviser: Mingliang He. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-02, Section: B, page: . / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2010. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 161-177). / Electronic reproduction.
