Relationship of personal, situational, and environmental factors to injury experience in commercial fishing.

Introduction: Commercial fishing work involves a variety of activities and is hazardous. While much is understood to mitigate fatalities in this industry, research must further explore nonfatal injury characteristics, factors related to injury, and potential injury prevention strategies. This paper determines if fishing experience is associated with injury risk and explores common work activities associated with injury.

Epidemiology of Bone-Stress Injuries and Health Care Use in Pac-12 Cross-Country Athletes.

Context: Bone-stress injury (BSI) is common in collegiate athletes. Injury rates and health care use in running athletes are not well documented.

Objective: To describe the rate and classification of injury and associated health care use in collegiate cross-country runners with BSI.

Commercial Fishing Fatalities and Injuries Described by Linked Vessel Incidents.

Objectives: The Risk Information System for Commercial Fishing (RISC Fishing) merged information on fishermen and vessel incident types from various databases. This descriptive study examined linked fisherman injury records (fatal and nonfatal) and vessel incident records in Oregon and Washington from 2000 to 2018 in the RISC Fishing database. The circumstances of incidents and any association with fishermen outcomes were explored to identify injury prevention opportunities.

Utilizing Haddon matrix to assess nonfatal commercial fishing injury factors in Oregon and Washington.

Background: Commercial fishing is a precarious industry with high fatal and nonfatal injury rates. The Risk Information System of Commercial [RISC] Fishing project at Oregon State University has been tracking both fatal and nonfatal injuries among Oregon and Washington commercial fishermen. We examined the utility of the RISC dataset variables in highlighting injury factors and prevention opportunities.

The Effect of a Statewide Policy on High School Emergency Action Plans.

Institutions sponsoring athletics must be prepared for emergencies. Due to this, more governing bodies are requiring a sports-related emergency action plan (EAP). Yet, the effects of these policies are unknown.
