Proposed Project Children’s Peer Relations and the Risk for Injury at School—New—National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Coordinating Center for Environmental Health and Injury Prevention (CCEHIP), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Background and Brief Description Injuries are responsible for more deaths than all other causes combined for people under 19. In 2003, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that, annually, one in four children sustain an injury severe enough to warrant medical care, school absence, or bed rest. An investigation of modifiable risk factors for childhood injuries is necessary to improve the health of children. The Division of Unintentional Injury Prevention at the CDC will investigate the relation between children’s social behaviors and experiences at school and school injuries. Peer nominated and teacher rated social behaviors will be collected and compared to injury rates measured in the school health room of 3rd-5th graders at one public elementary school with an ethnically diverse and lower socioeconomic status student body. From this data, a behavioral risk profile for injury will be derived. By learning which children are at risk based on various behavioral characteristics, successful secondary injury prevention strategies may be targeted when resources do not allow universal prevention. The main hypothesis of the study is that children with maladaptive behaviors and social experiences (e.g., aggression, bullying, social withdrawal, peer rejection) will be more at risk for injury than their well-adapted peers. Information collected will include one-time peer nominations of social behaviors and peer relationships and one-time teacher report data of children’s behavior that will reflect children’s behavior across a school year as well as injury event reports from that school year as determined by school health room visits for injury. Injury event reports will be compiled by the school health room aide.

The document and instructions for submitting comments can be found at https://www.cdc.gov/ niosh/review/public/126/. Comments may be given orally at the following meeting, as well as provided to the NIOSH Docket Office. Public Meeting Time and Date: 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m., March 25, 2008. Place: Hyatt Regency Crystal City, 2799 Jefferson Davis HWY, Arlington, Virginia 22202. Purpose of Meeting: NIOSH has developed strategic goals to address important issues surrounding the health and safety of emergency responders. The full list of goals can be accessed through the NIOSH Web site at: https:// www.cdc.gov/niosh/programs/epr/ goals.html. rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES AGENCY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:45 Feb 12, 2008 Jkt 214001 The eight overarching goals are: 1. SAFETY CLIMATE: Improve the organization of emergency response work to reduce exposure to risks and to enhance the health and safety of emergency responders. 2. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE): Improve PPE assortment, proper selection and wear, and decontamination. 3. ENGINEERING/TECHNOLOGICAL INTERVENTIONS AND CONTROLS: Improve engineering controls, technology, and tools to minimize responders’ exposures to hazards associated with chemical, biological, radiation or nuclear (CBRN), toxic industrial compound (TIC), and other hazardous materials. 4. CHARACTERIZATION/ ASSESSMENT OF POTENTIAL HAZARDS: Develop methods to evaluate the spatial and temporal distribution of gases, vapors, and aerosols, as well as liquids or particulates associated with surface contamination. 5. SUBGROUP-SPECIFIC STRATEGIES: Improve subgroup awareness, develop targeted messages, and expand subgroup-preferred channels. 6. SURVEILLANCE: Develop surveillance reporting systems to improve emergency responder safety and health through the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of exposure, hazard, injury, and illness data. 7. ENVIRONMENTAL MICROBIOLOGY: Improve the understanding of environmental microbiology of threat agents, including environmental factors that influence the introduction, spread, and control of these agents. 8. ENVIRONMENTAL AND BIOLOGICAL MONITORING OF TERRORISM AGENTS: Improve the identification and characterization of PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 terror agents to reduce exposures to response and remediation workers. Stakeholders are encouraged to review the strategic goals on the NIOSH Web site (https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ programs/epr/goals.html ) in order to prepare their comments/feedback around the following topics to be discussed. Written responses can be submitted in person at the meeting or by emailing nioshdocket@cdc.gov. Please reference Docket Number NIOSH–126 in your response. • Give your opinion about the top three goals needed to improve the safety and health of emergency responders. • Discuss why these are the top goals. Address any obstacles in achieving these goals. • Talk about how research can help the nation address the top goals that you have identified. Provide a couple of examples of research ideas for each of your top goals identified. • Discuss opportunities you see on the horizon that could lead to improvements in emergency responder safety and health. Please include as much information as might be useful for understanding the safety or health research priority you identify. Such information could include characterization of the frequency and severity with which the injury, illness, or hazardous exposure is occurring and of the factors you believe might be causing the health or safety issue. Input is also requested on the types of research that you believe might make a difference and which partners (e.g., specific industry associations, labor organizations, research organizations, government agencies) should be involved in informing research efforts and solutions. Status: The public meeting is open to everyone, including all workers, professional societies, organized labor, employers, researchers, health professionals, government officials, and elected officials.

Proposed Project

Children's Peer Relations and the Risk for Injury at School--New--
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), Coordinating
Center for Environmental Health and Injury Prevention (CCEHIP), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

Injuries are responsible for more deaths than all other causes
combined for people under 19. In 2003, the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) estimated that, annually, one in four children
sustain an injury severe enough to warrant medical care, school
absence, or bed rest. An investigation of modifiable risk factors for
childhood injuries is necessary to improve the health of children.
The Division of Unintentional Injury Prevention at the CDC will
investigate the relation between children's social behaviors and
experiences at school and school injuries. Peer nominated and teacher
rated social behaviors will be collected and compared to injury rates
measured in the school health room of 3rd-5th graders at one public
elementary school with an ethnically diverse and lower socioeconomic
status student body. From this data, a behavioral risk profile for
injury will be derived. By learning which children are at risk based on
various behavioral characteristics, successful secondary injury
prevention strategies may be targeted when resources do not allow
universal prevention. The main hypothesis of the study is that children
with maladaptive behaviors and social experiences (e.g., aggression,
bullying, social withdrawal, peer rejection) will be more at risk for
injury than their well-adapted peers.
Information collected will include one-time peer nominations of
social behaviors and peer relationships and one-time teacher report
data of children's behavior that will reflect children's behavior
across a school year as well as injury event reports from that school
year as determined by school health room visits for injury. Injury
event reports will be compiled by the school health room aide. By
learning

about risk factors for injuries at school, interventions may be
created, which can reduce the burden of injuries to children and the
disruption to children's classroom time, and may even impact the amount
of time parents must take off from work to pick up their children.
There is no cost to respondents except for their time.
