Background and Brief Description
Workplace violence (WPV) is a
significant concern for employers and
employees alike; every year in the U.S.,
WPV results in hundreds of deaths,
nearly two million nonfatal injuries, and
billions of dollars in costs. Historically,
the education field has not been the
focus of WPV research; however, the
classroom is a workplace too. From
1999 to 2003, teachers were the victims

The Centers for Disease Control and

information collection requests under
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) in compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
requests, call the CDC Reports Clearance

e-mail to omb@cdc.gov. Send written
comments to CDC Desk Officer, Office of

of approximately 183,000 nonfatal
crimes including 119,000 thefts and
65,000 violent crimes such as rape and
assault.
Workplace violence is not limited to
physical attacks; verbal threats,
bullying, and harassment also produce
psychological harm to teachers and
school staff. A newer form of such
violence is that of electronic aggression.
The CDC defines the problem as: ‘‘Any
type of harassment or bullying (teasing,
telling lies, making fun of someone,
making rude or mean comments,
spreading rumors, or making
threatening or aggressive comments)
that occurs through e-mail, a chat room,
instant messaging, a Web site (including
blogs) or text messaging.’’ While a
recent study found that 35% of young
people had been the victims of
electronic aggression, the impact of this
in the workplace is relatively unknown.
The extant evidence indicates that
working in a school environment carries
an excess risk for becoming a victim of
some form of WPV; however, little is
known about the incidence or risk
factors for such.
The Occupational Safety and Health
Act, Public Law 91–596 (section
20[a][1]) authorizes the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and
Health (NIOSH) to conduct research to
advance the health and safety of
workers. NIOSH is conducting a
population-based, cross-sectional survey
among teachers and paraprofessionals in
the State of Pennsylvania. The goals of
this study are (1) Estimate the number
and prevalence proportions (rates) of
physical, non-physical, and electronic
WPV in teachers and paraprofessionals
in Pennsylvania; (2) Identify the
circumstances and most common risk

factors for physical, non-physical, and
electronic WPV in teachers and
paraprofessionals in Pennsylvania; (3)
Measure the impact of WPV on job
satisfaction and quality of life. These
goals are solely based on the State of
Pennsylvania and are not based on a
nation wide study.
NIOSH is proposing to conduct a
population-based, cross-sectional survey
among teachers and paraprofessionals in
the State of Pennsylvania. Paper-andpencil surveys will be mailed to
potential participants through the
Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers (PFT),
Philadelphia Federation of Teachers
(PA–AFT), and the Pennsylvania State
Education Association (PSEA). Since
approximately 90% of teachers and 65%
of paraprofessionals in the State of
Pennsylvania hold membership in one
of these three unions and no known
State-wide database exists that includes
both teachers and paraprofessionals, a
sample of eligible participants will be
drawn using State-based union records.
A stratified random sample will be
drawn to ensure representativeness on
important dimensions such as gender of
participant and urban-rural status of the
school district. In conjunction with each
participating union, study packets
consisting of an introduction letter,
paper-and-pencil survey, and nonresponse form will be mailed to eligible
participant’s home addresses. The
questionnaire is a paper-and-pencil
survey and provides information on the
following categories: demographics,
occupation, physical assault
characteristics, non-physical assault
characteristics, electronic aggression
characteristics, job satisfaction, and
quality of life.
The sample size for the crosssectional survey is estimated to be
approximately 5,000 teachers and
paraprofessionals. This estimate is
based on the number of reported
teachers and paraprofessionals
represented by the three unions
participating in this study and on an
80% response rate that is comparable to
the response rate of previously
conducted surveys in similar
populations. Pilot test data
demonstrates that respondents should
take approximately 30 minutes to
complete the paper-and-pencil survey,
resulting in an annualized burden
estimate of 2,500 hours. Participation in
the study is completely voluntary.
This survey will also utilize the skills
and time of a variety of union office and
administrative staff for the preparation
of the survey packets. The exact number
of administrative staff utilized at each
union location, as well as the additional
work demands placed on them has yet
to be determined, though our best guess
is 13 individuals. It is estimated that
three office support staff from the
Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers, six
from the Pennsylvania State Education
Association, and four from the
Philadelphia Federation of Teachers
will be needed for a grand total of 13
support staff personnel. Additional
work activities could include:
Preparation of the sampling frame
database and non-respondent database,
printing of mailing labels, affixation of
mailing labels onto survey packets, and
e-mail and/or phone communication
with NIOSH. For each mailing, we
estimate that each of the 13
administration assistants will dedicate
two hours to the mailing. So, for each
mailing, a grand total of 26 hours will
be burdened. There will be three
separate mailings for a grand total
burden of 78 burden hours.
There are no costs to the respondents
other than their time. The total
estimated annual burden hours are
2,578.
