The Diffusion of Innovations theory is used to explain how, why, and at what rate new ideas spread through social systems. One prominent example of the Diffusion of Innovations theory is the promotion of bicycle helmets in New Zealand, where 93% of bikers wear helmets, compared to about 50% in the United States. During the 1970s, helmet use was an innovation that coincided with a boom in bicycle riding, but it was adopted by very few cyclists. This changed in New Zealand in the late 1980s, mostly due to the dissemination efforts of Rebecca Oaten after her son, Austen, suffered permanent brain damage in 1986 after being hit by a car while en route to school on his bicycle. Mrs. Oaten’s communication channels included talking to children in schools and lobbying the government for a helmet law. Implementation of the law was finally accomplished in 1994 and has now resulted in the diffusion of helmet wearing to nearly all of the population.

To prepare for this Discussion, select an injury prevention intervention to which to apply the Diffusion of Innovations theory.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post 4-5 pages of a brief description of the injury prevention intervention you selected. Then, explain how you might apply the Diffusion of Innovations theory to that intervention. Your explanation must include characteristics of the innovation, characteristics of adopters, and features of the settings or environmental contexts. Finally, explain the strengths and limitations of using Diffusion of Innovations theory with the intervention

Safety Plan

Consider the following scenario.

You are the safety and occupational health professional for your city’s health department. You received a call from a major food-distribution warehouse about some employees who are complaining of dizziness and feeling sick.

The scene is a very large warehouse; a significant portion is refrigerated. The illnesses are being reported from a refrigerated section (about 40 degrees F), where workers are blister packing food products on a production line. The warehouse has 20 loading docks, two railroad car lines that end directly inside the warehouse (in close proximity to the production area), a dozen or so gas powered forklifts, and no sensors or environmental monitors of any kind except those associated with the refrigeration systems.

The warehouse manager is cooperative, but he points out that he is in the middle of contract negotiations with the union. He is also very proud of the fact that they have special seals on the loading dock doors and throughout the warehouse to keep the cold in and the heat out.

You cannot identify any discernible odors other than the exhaust from the forklifts when they move by you. There are four women waiting for you in the break room complaining of dizziness and lightheadedness. They are all comparing and complaining about their symptoms. There are 14 employees who work in this area of the warehouse: 12 women and 2 men.

Instructions:

Based on the given scenario, develop a plan of action that includes how you would conduct the investigation, how you would identify possible sources of the problem, and your opinion on the likely source.

I am doing an IB course, the work that I really want you to do for me is called Internal Assessment. You have to pick 50 variables ( for instance, 25 boys and 25 girls ) and decide who is smoking who is not smoking and measure their lung capacity by volume of a ball (imagine people can blow a ball and measure their lung capacity) . For example, non-smoking person will reach more lung capacity ( 50 cm maximum) than smoking one. You have to calculate volume of every ball, by measuring circumference of every ball and then find a radios.
