Background and Need In the US, motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of occupational fatalities and continue to be a leading cause of occupational nonfatal injuries. The prevention of occupational motor vehicle crashes has been designated as a component of the CDC Winnable Battle for the prevention of motor-vehicle injuries. The ubiquitous taxicab is an example of a light motor vehicle, whose operator usually drives the vehicle as their primary job. In 2008 there were approximately 275,000 taxicab drivers in the US. In 1998-2002, workers in the "Taxi Services" industry had the highest rate of nonfatal motor vehicle-related injuries treated in emergency departments (86 per 10,000 FTEs), and workers in "Taxicab driver and chauffeur" occupations had the second highest rate (55 per 10,000 FTEs). Further, 134 of the 423 (32%) fatalities 2003-2010 in the "Taxi and limousine services" industry resulted from a motor vehicle crash. Workers who operate light motor vehicles as their primary job, including taxi drivers, are an inadequately studied population. There are no reports describing the population of workers driving light motor vehicles, their driving patterns, or their driving behaviors. The road safety component of the proposed study would provide new scientific knowledge of a well-defined occupation whose primary job is to operate a taxi cab at any time of day under numerous road and traffic conditions. Using the strong collaboration with the municipal regulatory agencies as a conduit, the resulting findings will be used to guide intervention efforts aimed at reducing motor vehicle crashes. Municipal members of the International Association of Transportation Regulators (IATR) look to DSR to provide guidance by establishing an evidence base of research which can serve as the basis for IATR policies. Motor vehicle safety findings from this survey will be incorporated by the IATR and disseminated globally to municipal transportation regulators through an established network. After a decade of decline, workplace violence continues to contribute substantially to the public health burden of both nonfatal and fatal injury outcomes. Since the nascence of national occupational health surveillance systems, homicides have been a leading cause of work-related fatal injuries. A widely cited special issue of Violence in the Workplace (2003) found taxicab drivers had the highest workplace homicide rates for both industry and occupation. In 2010 alone the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported almost 60% (n=26) of the 42 taxicab driver fatalities resulted from homicide. In 2009, at the request of the IATR, DSR signed a Letter of Agreement that focused on evaluating the effectiveness of two major types of safety equipment installed in cabs. The resulting ecological analysis of 26 major cities in the U.S. over a 15-year timespan revealed that cities with cameras installed in taxicabs experienced a 3-fold reduction in taxicab driver homicides compared with cities where taxicabs do not have cameras or partitions, and cities with partitions installed in taxicabs did not experience a statistically significant difference in homicide rate compared with cities that did not have partitions installed. Another study nearing completion, a laboratory-based evaluation, is testing key features of taxicab cameras to determine what specifications to recommend when regulators advise taxicab companies on what features optimize the performance of the cameras and, therefore, the perpetrator conviction rate. This study contains a workplace violence section in the survey that will allow the evaluation of the major types of safety equipment on rates of workplace violence incidents and events at the individual level (taxicab drivers). The findings of this component of the survey are expected to complement the findings of the ecological analysis and strengthen the guidance NIOSH can provide as these results will speak to the individual risk of taxicab drivers rather than at a city level. C.2 Project Objectives The recipient of this contract will be expected to successfully complete the following tasks: (1) provide skilled service in data collection in Houston, Texas; and (2) be responsible for purchasing and disbursing $25 check cards to participants as an incentive and a token of appreciation for their participation. Timing is dependent on the date of approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). C.3 Scope of Work For this project NIOSH is committed to collect self-report data on road safety behaviors, workplace violence events, injury events and socio-demographic factors in Houston, Texas. A total of 500 surveys of licensed taxicab drivers will be completed. Data collection is expected to begin June 1, 2014 or the date of OMB approval (whichever is later) and last for 2 months. Contractor's Responsibility The contractor will complete the following tasks over a time period not extending past May 31, 2015. The contractor will provide a data collection team of one project manager and interviewers with survey experience (at least 2 should be men as an overwhelming majority of taxicab drivers are men and from cultures where male surveyors would be preferred). The project manager will be in charge of coordinating all hired surveyors and their completed surveys. 1. Specifically, within 30 days following the contract start date the contractor will hire one study manager and surveyors in Houston. 2. The contractor will ensure the study interviewers and project manager take the required ethics training and provide the NIOSH point of contact with certification of training. 3. The contractor will ensure the study project manager and surveyors attend the NIOSH training for administering the interviews. 4. The contractor will print the 500 surveys and consent forms. 5. The contractor will purchase 500 $25 gift cards and document their individual disbursement using the Gift Card Tracking worksheet provided by NIOSH. 6. The contractor will schedule the interviewers to recruit study participants, conduct interviews and disburse $25 gift cards as compensation to study participants for their time. 7. The contractor will check for completeness of surveys at the end of each shift, catalog completed surveys and ship the surveys to FedEx to the NIOSH point of contact on a weekly basis (FEDEX packets will be provided and postage paid by NIOSH). 8. NIOSH's Responsibility 1. Upon the contract start date NIOSH will provide a link to the ethics training. 2. Within 45 days following the contract start date NIOSH will provide training in obtaining consent and administering the survey. The training will consist of administering the survey protocol, with approximately 4 hours of classroom instruction and visits to taxicab waiting lots to practice interviewing taxicab drivers. 3. Within 50 days following the contract start date, the contractor's study manager will develop a schedule of visits to taxicab waiting lots and share with NIOSH for approval before surveys begin. 4. NIOSH will provide the contractor with the proper documentation for gift card disbursement (Gift Card Tracking worksheet). 5. The contractor will have the surveys completed by May 31, 2015. 6. NIOSH will provide the study and sampling design. 7. NIOSH will provide data entry of the survey data. C4. Technical Requirements 1. The contractor will provide at least two surveyors and a study manager in Houston. The study manager can also be a surveyor. The surveyors should be men with the exception of one woman (it is estimated <10% of taxicab drivers are female) and represent the diversity of the predominantly male taxicab driver population to the extent possible. Providing male surveyors to a study population that is mostly international is believed to increase recruitment among drivers from cultures that may not appreciate being asked a lot of questions by members of the opposite sex. 2. Although not an essential requirement, NIOSH prefers that the study manager and surveyor have experience in interviews and survey methods, and experience in interviewing taxicab drivers. 3. NIOSH will provide the contractor with electronic copies of the script for oral consent and Taxicab Driver Survey (Attachment 1). The contractor will print them out and distribute to surveyors. 4. NIOSH will provide postage paid packets for mailing of surveys to NIOSH. C5. Reporting Schedule The beginning of the period of performance will be from award of the contract (no later than around June 1, 2014 or OMB approval, whichever is later) and the end of the period of performance will be May 31, 2015. The time table for time-sensitive deliverables is specified in section C.3. C6. Special Considerations The remainder of the contract scope of work and reimbursements may be terminated by NIOSH if government approval or funding is withdrawn or if OMB does not approve the survey. The contractor will supply all equipment or supplies for the survey with the exception of FEDEX return postage paid envelopes. C7. Government Furnished Property There will be no government furnished property. C8. References Not applicable. &emsp; Attachment 1 Script for Verbal Consent from Taxicab Driver The following script will be read (and distributed in hardcopy form) to the taxicab driver to obtain verbal consent to participate: "We are requesting that you participate in a 20 to 30 minute survey as part of a research study being conducted by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) which is part of CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The purpose of this study is to determine motor vehicle safety behaviors among taxicab drivers and to evaluate violent events from passengers that occurred to you in the past 24 months while at work. We are interested in your thoughts about safety equipment and safety training as they pertain to workplace violence. We will ask you questions and record them on a questionnaire about motor vehicle safety behaviors, workplace violence events and safety equipment. Your participation is voluntary and you have the right to refuse to answer any question. We will not record your name, and there will be no record of your name linked to any information you provide to us. We will be offering you a $25 gift card as a token for your time and interest in this interview. The benefit to you will be to participate in a study designed to examine workplace violence and how to reduce it, in addition to evaluating motor vehicle safety behaviors. There is minimal risk to you to participate. The information you provide on your driving habits and experiences as a taxicab driver will not be provided to the city transportation regulators or the police department to assure confidentiality to you. We will prepare a report of our findings and we will send a copy of the report to your transportation regulator's office to be disseminated to you."
