“…In 2014, about 2.5 million people were hospitalized for injuries, and almost 27 million people were treated for injuries in an Emergency Department (ED) (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017b). Demographic disparities exist in the distribution of injury incidence and severity in diverse populations by age, gender, race, occupation/job title or industry, socioeconomic status indicators, and geographic factors (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2015b; Laberge & Ledoux, 2011; Laberge et al, 2011; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2003; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2010; Shendell et al, 2010; Shendell et al, 2012a; Shendell et al, 2012b; Rubenstein et al, 2014; Apostolico & Shendell, 2016; Shendell et al, 2018).…”

“…Career-technical-vocational education (CTE) related injuries are mandated by law, under jurisdiction of New Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE), to be reported to the New Jersey Safe Schools Program (NJ SS) online reporting system. This is the only U.S. State law-based surveillance data for adolescents, a susceptible, vulnerable adolescent sub-population (Shendell et al, 2010; Shendell et al, 2012a; Shendell et al, 2012b; Rubenstein et al, 2014; Apostolico & Shendell, 2016; Shendell et al, 2018). To date, reported injuries are generally less severe, e.g., cases of permanent disability or death are rare (Shendell et al, 2010; Shendell et al, 2012a; Shendell et al, 2012b).…”

Background Workplace injuries are a public health concern, including among adolescents and young adults. Secondary school career-technical-vocational education related injuries are mandated by code under jurisdiction of New Jersey Department of Education to be reported online to New Jersey Safe Schools Program. These are the only U.S. law-based surveillance data for young workers in secondary school career-technical-vocational education. New Jersey Department of Health’s hospitalization and fatality records provide additional information about other secondary school career-technical-vocational education and non- secondary school career-technical-vocational education related injuries not necessarily reported to New Jersey Safe Schools Program. This report compared data available to the New Jersey Department of Health and New Jersey Safe Schools Program on injuries among young workers ages 14–21 years. Methods Annual work-related hospitalizations, 2007–2016, were abstracted from hospital discharge data. Denominator data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics was used to estimate annual crude rate of hospitalizations per 100,000 employed persons. Hospitalization rates were stratified by demographic data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Hospitalization rates for primary diagnoses and job title/status with ≥2 documented cases were reported. Annual crude fatality rates per 100,000 full time equivalent workers, age ≥ 16 years, were estimated for 1990–2016 using annual average full time equivalent workers and the U.S. National Institute Occupational Safety and Health’s Employed Labor Force Query System as denominator. Results Annual crude hospitalization rates decreased over time. Hospitalization and fatality rates were higher among young adult workers ages 19–21 years; non-Hispanic Whites; and, males. Percent fatality for ages 19–21 years was greater than ages 14–17 years and 18 years. Declines in hospitalization rates corresponded to decreases in reported injuries among career-technical-vocational education students. Age distribution varied slightly between hospital discharge data and New Jersey Safe Schools Program data. Conclusion Hospitalization and fatality rates were higher among males than among females, possibly reflecting a tendency for males to engage in riskier jobs than females. Understanding injury disparities can inform public health prevention efforts. Trainings/interventions should aim at addressing the most frequently diagnosed conditions or nature of reported injuries, within those most impacted career clusters like sales/restaurant workers.

“…The most commonly injured body parts were hands and fingers, and the most commonly reported injury type was cuts/lacerations. [ 16 , 17 ] Also, 55% of injuries were treated at a hospital/ED compared to 45% being treated at an outpatient clinic. Overall, injury severity was primarily non-disabling (70%), followed by temporarily disabling (30%); only one incident was considered a permanent disability as a finger amputation.…”

BackgroundNew Jersey Department of Education (NJDOE) requires by law for accidents/incidents (injury) involving career-technical-vocational education (CTE) students and staff to be reported within five business days to the NJ Safe Schools Program (NJSS) using an online surveillance system. NJ public schools and charter schools (CS) through school districts (SD) or county offices report school data annually to NJDOE, including per pupil spending (PPS). In this study, we examined potential associations of PPS with several variables on injury in NJ: injury cause, injury location on the body, injury type, injury severity, use of PPE, and location of treatment for injury.MethodsPPS data for December 1998–June 2015 from CTE SDs (one per NJ county, n = 21), four CS SD and eight county special services districts were analyzed. T-test examined potential differences in PPS regarding injury severity and use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Stepwise logistic regression assessed potential associations between PPS and various injury surveillance variables.ResultsThere were more CTE injuries reported among SD with lower PPS than among SD with higher PPS. Relatively less severe injuries, e.g., bruise/bumps and cuts/lacerations, more often occurred at schools and SD with higher PPS. Conversely, relatively more severe injuries, e.g., fractures, more often occurred at schools and SD with lower PPS.ConclusionFuture research should further investigate disparities regarding younger worker injuries reported within school-based career-technical-vocational education programs by PPS and other factors like sex or gender, severity, safety training provided and work experience at time of injury.
