In this intervention study, the investigators engage Vietnamese American nail salon owners to train workers within their salons on how to reduce workplace chemical exposures. The long-term goal of the study is to reduce toxic chemical exposures in nail salons and promote worker health and safety in this vulnerable worker population.
The primary hypothesis is that there will be a significantly greater reduction in measured levels of air contaminants among workers in the intervention group than in the comparison group. The primary outcome of interest is workplace chemical exposure reduction.
In addition, the secondary hypotheses are:
As part of the secondary analyses, the investigators will also examine whether changes in knowledge and behavior are associated with workplace chemical exposure reduction and also whether changes in workplace chemical exposure are associated with improved health. The specific aims are to:
Enhance existing workplace chemical exposure reduction (WCER) education materials and survey instruments that target Vietnamese nail salon owners and workers.
Implement an owner-to-worker intervention to administer the WCER education materials.
Evaluate the effectiveness of the owner-to-worker WCER intervention for:
i) increasing worker knowledge of WCER
ii) modifying behavioral and environmental factors that promote WCER
