Kerry Kuehl, M.D., Dr.P.H., was the lead investigator
in the NIOSH-funded “Safety and Health Improve-
ment: Enhancing Law Enforcement Departments”
study,7 which established an evidence-based safety
and health program for municipal and county law
enforcement officers. It was natural to extend that
work to COs. An initial step compared survey find-
ings from COs at prisons of different security levels
in an effort to characterize staff and use that informa-
tion to match facilities in a prospective trial of a pro-
gram to improve COs’ TWH. Despite similar years on
the job across sites, stress levels, body weight, alco-
hol intake and sick days all increased as the security
level intensified. However, even at the minimum-
security sites, COs had higher body weights and
more cardiovascular risk factors than the average
police officer. Findings pointed to a gradient of
increasing stress relating to greater health problems.
Tim Morse, Ph.D., and colleagues from the Cen-
ter for Promoting Health in the New England Work-
place (CPH-NEW) used surveys, focus groups and
physical assessments to understand the health of
COs from two prisons.8 Morse and his colleagues
found COs had more obesity than the U.S. aver-
age. Only 15 percent of COs were in the normal
weight range, about half what is found in the gen-
eral adult population. The COs’ interview data was
remarkable for findings of stress relating to poor
dietary habits and barriers to regular exercise.

Abstract
Background: Studies of psychological stress among substance misuse professionals rarely
describe the nature of burnout and psychological morbidity. The main aim of this study was to
determine the extent, pattern and predictors of psychological morbidity and burnout among
substance misuse professionals.
Methods: This study was a cross-sectional mail survey of 194 clinical staff of substance misuse
services in the former South Thames region of England, using the General Health Questionnaire
(GHQ-12) the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) as measures of psychological morbidity and
burnout, respectively.
Results: Rates of psychological morbidity (82%: 95% CI = 76–87) and burnout (high emotional
exhaustion – 33% [27–40]; high depersonalisation – 17% [12–23]; and diminished personal
accomplishment – 36% [29–43]) were relatively high in the study sample. High levels of alienation
and tension (job stressors) predicted emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation (burnout) but
not psychological morbidity. Diminished personal accomplishment was associated with higher
levels of psychological morbidity
Conclusion: In the sample of substance misuse professionals studied, rates of psychological
morbidity and burnout were high, suggesting a higher level of vulnerability than in other health
professionals. Furthermore, pathways to psychological morbidity and burnout are partially related.
Therefore, targeted response is required to manage stress, burnout and psychological morbidity
among substance misuse professionals. Such a response should be integral to workforce
development.
Background
Since the introduction of the United Kingdom Govern-
ment's Drug Strategy in 1998, substance misuse services
have expanded with increases in funding available from
central government as part of implementation of the drug
strategy [1]. The targets set in the strategy may have put
extra demands on substance misuse services with a likely
increase in job-related stress, burnout and associated psy-
chological morbidity.
Studies of stress and burnout in various occupational
groups and settings have been widely reported [2-4].

Sedentary lifestyle is predominant in our everyday life be it in workplace, school, social or homes and the fact is we have got accustomed to sitting down and doing many things forgetting the impact this is causing to our health. People fail to realize how valuable exercise is in their life and especially in improving their health and well-being. Sitting down on the computer with all focused attention and forgetting that we need to get up and even eat cause problems to many people.

The research question for the study conducted by Guesdes, et al (2010) is based on the following: 1.what is the result of the defining characteristics and related factors of sedentary lifestyle diagnosis in patients with high blood pressure? 2. What are the predictive value and possible predictors of the nursing diagnosis sedentary lifestyle in patients with high blood pressure? The study looked at the validation of diagnostic groupings of the population being studied including aspects of their clinical situations. The study looked at diagnosis resulting from insufficient physical activity, intolerance of activity, fatigue, impaired physical mobility, self-care deficit.

Background: This study explored the relationship between work stress, workload, and quality of life (QOL) among rehabilitation professionals. Methods: This study applied a cross-sectional design. A questionnaire was distributed to rehabilitation professionals—comprising physicians in the rehabilitation department, occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, and audiologists—working in teaching hospitals. A total of 152 valid responses were collected, yielding a valid response rate of 93.8%. Results: For female respondents, factors affecting the QOL were educational level, type of professional license, length of service, average leisure hours per week, expense on leisure per week, work stress, and workload (all p < .01). For male respondents, no factor reached statistical significance (p > .001). Conclusion: This study provides the following suggestions to hospital administrators: establishing a stress-relief helpline, evaluating employees’ workload, regularly arranging stress management training courses, implementing employee health promotion programs, and promoting proactive strategies to improve employee physical and mental health.

The pandemic of physical inactivity: global action for
public health
Harold W Kohl 3rd, Cora Lynn Craig, Estelle Victoria Lambert, Shigeru Inoue, Jasem Ramadan Alkandari, Grit Leetongin, Sonja Kahlmeier, for the
Lancet Physical Activity Series Working Group*
Physical inactivity is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. We summarise present global eff orts to counteract
this problem and point the way forward to address the pandemic of physical inactivity. Although evidence for the
benefi ts of physical activity for health has been available since the 1950s, promotion to improve the health of populations
has lagged in relation to the available evidence and has only recently developed an identifi able infrastructure, including
eff orts in planning, policy, leadership and advocacy, workforce training and development, and monitoring and
surveillance. The reasons for this late start are myriad, multifactorial, and complex. This infrastructure should continue
to be formed, intersectoral approaches are essential to advance, and advocacy remains a key pillar. Although there is a
need to build global capacity based on the present foundations, a systems approach that focuses on populations and
the complex interactions among the correlates of physical inactivity, rather than solely a behavioural science approach
focusing on individuals, is the way forward to increase physical activity worldwide.
The pandemic of physical inactivity should be a
public health priority
Theoretically, prioritisation for public health action is
informed largely by three factors: the prevalence and
trends of a health disorder; the magnitude of the risk
associated with exposure to that disorder; and evidence
for eff ective prevention and control. A practice or
behaviour that is clearly related to a health disorder, is
prevalent, and is static or increasing in its prevalence
should be a primary target for public health policy for
disease prevention and health promotion. Too often,
however, the inertia of tradition, pressure .

Short paper #2
La Haine is a 1995 drama film that directed by Mathieu Kassovitz. The events of the movie took place in France, and it was mainly focused on three friends from different ethnic backgrounds who were trying to face the struggles that faced them in their lives in a city called banlieues in France. (Kassovitz). The three young men were first Vinze a young Jewish who wanted to revenge from the police, and he was always trying to show the aggressive face, and he wished to kill the police, but he could not kill any policeman because he was kind and could not do it. Instead by the end of the movie, he got shot that killed him by police. The second character was Hubert an afro France who was a boxer, and he was selling drugs as well to get the money so he can help his family. Also, he hated the police like Vinze, but the difference between them was that Hubert was able to kill a police officer while Vinze was not. The last character was Said an Arab Maghrib, and he was loving his friends and liked to hang out with them. Also, he was in between the two in which when Vinz and Hubert dispute with each other, he was the one who tried to get them together again. So, the three young men were treated differently from the public, police, and other people as well and that because they had different ethnicity and roots. For example, the police violence against the people who had a different ethnic background, in which the entire movie the police was chasing the three young men especially Hubert and Said because Hubert was black, and Said Muslim. That means the France government or society encouraged the idea of racism and hatred to other ethnic groups, and that affected the people who diaspora from other countries to France with the hope that they would find a better life, but they surprised by the bad treatment from the police and society. Thus, that caused the people with a different ethnicity to face problems like fewer job opportunities which lead them to work as a drug dealer or other bad jobs to get some money to live like what happened with Hurburt. Another struggle that they would face because of the France system was an education in which they did not have the opportunity to get a proper education. Even if they got an education, they would not have the chance to have a proper job. So, the ethnic minority groups in France was facing many struggles from the government, and police that made their life harder and even impossible to live.

Students must draw on all of the readings for the particular selected unit in their reflections. For example, if students choose to do a reflection based on Unit 2, the paper must draw on the Dicken (2011) reading and the Knox et al. (2015) reading.
Although students are expected to demonstrate a clear understanding of the readings, reflection papers are not intended to simply summarize the readings. Rather, students should outline the main points of the readings and use this as the basis for a critical reflection.
Critical reflections should demonstrate depth in thinking about the material they are learning, and evaluate critically how theories and practices of geography can influence their own lived experiences and observations about the world.
Students are encouraged to draw on other sources in addition to course materials, including the weekly discussion postings from previous Units if applicable.
All sources, including the course readings, lecture notes, and discussion postings must be properly cited using APA.
Reflection papers are to be written according to academic scholarship standards (1,000 +/- 100 words excluding title page and references).

Unit 5 Notes: Geographies of Culture and Identity
The reading this week comes from chapter 5 in the textbook, Human geography: People, place, and culture, by Fouberg, Murphy, and De Blij (2015). This chapter begins by examining the intersections of culture and identity, and in particular the gendered division of labour in different societies. Gender is an important identity category that human geographers seek to understand, especially how it relates to power and intersections with other identity categories, such as ethnicity, race, class, and sex. Human geographers are especially concerned with investigating how identity categories are propped up by unquestioned assumptions and stereotypes. Different societies often impose well-defined identity categories that conceptualize people not as individuals, but as members of a category assumed to behave and act in certain ways.
Geographers understand identity in two ways: as a way that individuals define themselves, and as a way individuals are defined by others. Both often rely on processes of inclusion and exclusion, where identity relies on what political and gender theorist Judith Butler (1993) refers to as a 'constitutive outside': defining a particular subject according to what it is not, or according to what it excludes. Place and connections to place can also deeply influence the construction of identity, most obviously at the national scale (think of images often associated with being “Canadian”), but also at more local scales. Race continues to define an identity category, even though a scientific consensus has emerged that physical differences in human appearances do not constitute significant differences in the hu.

informed largely by three factors: the prevalence and
trends of a health disorder; the magnitude of the risk
associated with exposure to that disorder; and evidence
for eff ective prevention and control. A practice or
behaviour that is clearly related to a health disorder, is
prevalent, and is static or increasing in its prevalence
should be a primary target for public health policy for
disease prevention and health promotion. Too often,

Short paper #2
La Haine is a 1995 drama film that directed by Mathieu Kassovitz. The events of the movie took place in France, and it was mainly focused on three friends from different ethnic backgrounds who were trying to face the struggles that faced them in their lives in a city called banlieues in France. (Kassovitz). The three young men were first Vinze a young Jewish who wanted to revenge from the police, and he was always trying to show the aggressive face, and he wished to kill the police, but he could not kill any policeman because he was kind and could not do it. Instead by the end of the movie, he got shot that killed him by police. The second character was Hubert an afro France who was a boxer, and he was selling drugs as well to get the money so he can help his family. Also, he hated the police like Vinze, but the difference between them was that Hubert was able to kill a police officer while Vinze was not. The last character was Said an Arab Maghrib, and he was loving his friends and liked to hang out with them. Also, he was in between the two in which when Vinz and Hubert dispute with each other, he was the one who tried to get them together again. So, the three young men were treated differently from the public, police, and other people as well and that because they had different ethnicity and roots. For example, the police violence against the people who had a different ethnic background, in which the entire movie the police was chasing the three young men especially Hubert and Said because Hubert was black, and Said Muslim. That means the France government or society encouraged the idea of racism and hatred to other ethnic groups, and that affected the people who diaspora from other countries to France with the hope that they would find a better life, but they surprised by the bad treatment from the police and society. Thus, that caused the people with a different ethnicity to face problems like fewer job opportunities which lead them to work as a drug dealer or other bad jobs to get some money to live like what happened with Hurburt. Another struggle that they would face because of the France system was an education in which they did not have the opportunity to get a proper education. Even if they got an education, they would not have the chance to have a proper job. So, the ethnic minority groups in France was facing many struggles from the government, and police that made their life harder and even impossible to live.

Students must draw on all of the readings for the particular selected unit in their reflections. For example, if students choose to do a reflection based on Unit 2, the paper must draw on the Dicken (2011) reading and the Knox et al. (2015) reading.
Although students are expected to demonstrate a clear understanding of the readings, reflection papers are not intended to simply summarize the readings. Rather, students should outline the main points of the readings and use this as the basis for a critical reflection.
Critical reflections should demonstrate depth in thinking about the material they are learning, and evaluate critically how theories and practices of geography can influence their own lived experiences and observations about the world.
Students are encouraged to draw on other sources in addition to course materials, including the weekly discussion postings from previous Units if applicable.
All sources, including the course readings, lecture notes, and discussion postings must be properly cited using APA.
Reflection papers are to be written according to academic scholarship standards (1,000 +/- 100 words excluding title page and references).

Unit 5 Notes: Geographies of Culture and Identity
The reading this week comes from chapter 5 in the textbook, Human geography: People, place, and culture, by Fouberg, Murphy, and De Blij (2015). This chapter begins by examining the intersections of culture and identity, and in particular the gendered division of labour in different societies. Gender is an important identity category that human geographers seek to understand, especially how it relates to power and intersections with other identity categories, such as ethnicity, race, class, and sex. Human geographers are especially concerned with investigating how identity categories are propped up by unquestioned assumptions and stereotypes. Different societies often impose well-defined identity categories that conceptualize people not as individuals, but as members of a category assumed to behave and act in certain ways.
Geographers understand identity in two ways: as a way that individuals define themselves, and as a way individuals are defined by others. Both often rely on processes of inclusion and exclusion, where identity relies on what political and gender theorist Judith Butler (1993) refers to as a 'constitutive outside': defining a particular subject according to what it is not, or according to what it excludes. Place and connections to place can also deeply influence the construction of identity, most obviously at the national scale (think of images often associated with being “Canadian”), but also at more local scales. Race continues to define an identity category, even though a scientific consensus has emerged that physical differences in human appearances do not constitute significant differences in the hu.

Students learning self-regulation strategies may not always reco.docxorlandov3
Students learning self-regulation strategies may not always recognize how those skills can be developed across content areas. Teachers can assist these students by providing them guidance on how to expand their skills. It is also helpful when teachers establish common processes that provide students with the feedback they need to assess their personal efforts and outcomes.
For this assignment, take on the role of an elementary level teacher at a K-5 school. Your principal has noticed how well you communicate learning objectives, guide students to set individual goals, and guide students to self-regulate and track their progress across multiple content areas. Because of your successes using these best practices, your principal has asked you to present best practices to fellow teachers across all content areas in an upcoming professional development.
Part 1: Best Practices Presentation
Create a 10-12 slide digital presentation to present to your teacher colleagues describing evidence-based instructional practices related to the self-regulation cycle, including goal setting, communicating learning objectives, monitoring student progress, providing effective feedback, and promoting self-regulation across multiple content areas.
The presentation should include the following components:
How to communicate the unit or lesson learning objectives to students, and how they will be measured on their performance of those objectives
How to encourage students’ motivation and engagement through the use of technology and other strategies, creating opportunities for students' active participation in learning, self-motivation, and positive social interaction
How to continuously monitor student progress to provide effective, descriptive feedback across multiple content areas
How to work with students to collaboratively establish learning goals, identify quality work, and analyze their assessment results across multiple content areas
Title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
Part 2: Reflection
In 250-500 words, summarize and examine the process of implementing best practices in encouraging self-regulation, setting goals, communicating objectives, monitoring progress, and providing effective feedback.
Consider the following questions:
How can you use students’ performance data to guide and engage students in thinking and learning?
How does the assessment data inform future instructional planning based on identified learning gaps and patterns?
How does planning for students to engage in the self-regulation cycle influence students’ confidence in learning independently and taking ownership of their academic progress?

STUDENTS JOURNAL ENTRY As I progressed in this class I tried a.docxorlandov3
STUDENT'S JOURNAL ENTRY
As I progressed in this class I tried applying what I was learning to the world around me and open my eyes to things I do not see or take for granted. I never really considered myself part of the dominant group as I felt separate from it growing up homeschooled in a Romanian immigrant community. Looking back in retrospection I now that I have benefited from being white in ways I never even realized. By learning how others have struggled to gain access to treatment I never had to think twice about was eye opening.
I look white and have no accent, therefore there is nothing to set me apart from the dominant white culture around me. I never realized I was no different from them in their perspective but also from the perspective of other immigrants and minorities. I can relate to the struggle to fit in and find a place in society because in my childhood we were different. We had an accent, dressed differently, and were poor. However, I could not relate to how difficult it is for others to assimilate because as we lost our accents and entered the middle class the dominant group practically invited us in with open arms.
I have opened my eyes to things I’ve never seen and see how much further we have to go to create a truly open and fair society. There is so much injustice around us that I have never seen before and I feel ashamed for my lack of empathy for those around me.
Just to illustrate how blind I was to racism I have a little story. I have a Hispanic girlfriend, she is a Mexican immigrant in fact. Before taking this class she would occasionally express frustration with how she and her family were treated by hospital and school officials in her neighborhood. At the time I processed this as just people having a misunderstanding and that my girlfriend was probably overreacting. However as I started learning what racism in America really looks like, and that its not just hillbillies in pointy hats I began to notice things I never thought about.
I could see how my girlfriend would sometimes get different service in a negative way that was racially motivated. I finally understood why she wanted me to go with her to certain places like the DMV or car dealerships. She has been talked down to by others because see is a Mexican immigrant. As my eyes opened to her plight I saw how different her immigration story was to mine. I asked her about the time she spent in Texas where she said her family was the most mistreated by whites. I understood why she had angst towards the idea of visiting my family in Tennessee because she is somewhat traumatized by her childhood experience of crossing into a new land and being mistreated and seen as a second class person because she was different.
In hindsight I even noticed while taking this class that my treatment has changed because of her. Looking back at dates I have had in previous relationships I would occasio.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

the job across sites, stress levels, body weight, alco-
hol intake and sick days all increased as the security
level intensified. However, even at the minimum-
security sites, COs had higher body weights and
more cardiovascular risk factors than the average
police officer. Findings pointed to a gradient of
increasing stress relating to greater health problems.

age. Only 15 percent of COs were in the normal
weight range, about half what is found in the gen-
eral adult population. The COs’ interview data was
remarkable for findings of stress relating to poor
dietary habits and barriers to regular exercise.
Kuehl’s subsequent study among Oregon COs
found only 8 percent of West Coast COs were at
healthy body weights. In addition, the New England
investigators uncovered high levels of depression
among COs.9 In general, about 15 percent of aver-
age adults score in the depressed range, while for
these COs, that number was more than 30 per-
cent. The high stress and depression levels relat-
ed to greater work/family conflicts. Like in other
professions, correctional work issues tend to spill
into life off the job. TWH is about being safe and
healthy 24/7, and examining work’s impact —
both on and off the job — is an important com-
ponent for the work of the TWH Centers of
Excellence.
Stress is Hazardous to Your Heart
There are clear links between stress and both
mental and physical illnesses.10 In particular, high
stress increases risks for “metabolic syndrome.”
Metabolic syndrome is a collection of cardiovascu-
lar risk factors that include central obesity, insulin
resistance and elevated blood sugar, hypertension,
and abnormal lipid levels with higher triglycerides
and lowered HDL (good) cholesterol levels.11 When
experienced individually, each of these factors
increase the risk for heart disease, and when they
4. cluster together, the risks are multiplied. This greatly
accelerates the risk for atherosclerosis, so much
so that the combination was termed a metabolic
syndrome.
In 2013, the U.S. Department of Justice published
a review of stress among COs.12 The document high-
lighted the many sources of stress for COs, such as
hypervigilance, constant threats of violence, media
scrutiny, a closed work environment, understaffing,
organizational issues and work/family conflicts. An
additional finding from the West Coast prison COs
was that their rates of metabolic syndrome were
almost twice of that observed among police officers.
Precisely how stress leads to metabolic syndrome
is not understood. However, it is clear that the best
management relates to weight loss, regular exercise,
adequate sleep and a healthy diet.
First National Symposium on the Safety
and Well-Being of COs
In July 2014, researchers from the Pacific North-
west and New England were joined by practitioner
and research stakeholders, representatives from
national health and correctional institutes, union
officials and correctional administrators in holding
the 2014 National Symposium on Corrections Worker
Health. More than 60 individuals attended the day-
long meeting, which was webcast to other national
participants. The symposium was a first step in what
is anticipated to be a growing movement to place the
health of COs on the national research agenda.
The symposium was opened by Oregon Depart-
ment of Corrections (DOC) Deputy Director Mitch
5. Morrow. Morrow was a CO for 26 years and rose
through the ranks to his current position. He spoke
about the recent epidemic of CO suicides and their
worker compensation claims being the highest
among all state workers. He passionately called for
effective strategies to reduce these risks and the
need to increase research funding to understand and
address COs’ health risks. Keynote speakers included

ubMed is an Internet search engine used to
access millions of articles in biomedical and life
science literature. Searching “police officers and
health” on PubMed yields almost 5,000 articles,
and searching “firefighters and health” results in
more than 900 citations. However, only 23 articles
are identified when searching “correctional officers
(COs) and health.” This article is a snapshot of
ongoing work and a growing national consortium of
individuals interested in advancing the well-being
of COs.
In 2006, the National Institute of Safety and
Health (NIOSH) began combining its emphasis
on worker safety with workplace health promo-
tion for a strategy termed Total Worker HealthTM
(TWH).1 Traditionally, safety and health each have
received only individual attention. Corrections is a
profession with clear links among safety, job-
related issues and health. Those connections and
pressing needs for improvements in both health
protection and promotion move COs into the spot-
6. light for promoting TWH.
Hazards of Correctional Work
Correctional work conditions and practices dif-
fer by facility, region and jurisdiction. As a result,
it is difficult to generalize from the small number
of available studies to make conclusions about
the health of the more than half a million COs in
the U.S. However, the picture that emerges from
the limited available information is concerning.
The authors and others have found that COs have
high rates of stress,2 depression,3 suicide,4 obe-
sity,5 cardiovascular disease risks and injury.6

structures that require time to build trust, ensure
confidentiality and involve all stakeholders to effec-
tively impact both systemwide and individual CO
issues.
The objectives of the collaboration among CO
investigators, led by El Ghaziri, are placing correc-
tions on the agendas of national institutes that con-
trol research funds for that work; facilitating the
sharing of information among those involved in pro-
moting the health and safety of COs; and assisting in
the design and conduct of multicenter prospective
trials of comprehensive TWH programs for COs.
However, findings from a national study are years
away, and the well-being of COs cannot wait. In the
meantime, the items in Figure 1 are ways COs can
apply the same diligence used to protect individuals
in the community to protecting the health of COs and
correctional facility staff.

John Violanti, Ph.D., presented information about
the increased risk of suicide among COs.13 Violanti
served 23 years as a New York state trooper and
spent the next 25 years studying the health of police
officers. He is best known for the Buffalo Cardio-
metabolic Occupational Police Stress (BCOPS)
study, a longitudinal study of police officers’ health.14
BCOPS identified the connections among police
work, shift schedules, sleep disorders, obesity, car-
diovascular risk factors and cancer. More recently,
Violanti has turned his attention to the problems
of COs. He has documented elevated suicide risks
among COs and identified that suicide is part of a
much larger problem of stress and emotional strain.15
12. Oliver Wirth, Ph.D., a research psychologist at
NIOSH, and Jean Meade, M.D., D.V.M., Ph.D., M.P.H.,
a program council government member at NIOSH,
shared their early wellness work with COs. Meade
facilitated development of a post-traumatic stress
disorder service dog training program in a unique
veterans-only prison housing unit. An unanticipated
positive outcome of the training was that the COs
also felt better when the service dogs were present.
That observation resulted in plans to study the ben-
efits of human-animal interactions on COs, as well as
their inmate trainers. All of the morning symposium
presentations are available as free online videos.16
The afternoon sessions provided a series of inter-
active discussions, where participants rotated among
content experts to share information. The topics
included fatigue management, work/family balance,
juvenile corrections, ergonomics, organizational
culture, stress and CO safety. Meeting organizers
were gratified by the meetings’ outcomes. Martin
Cherniack, M.D., M.P.H., executive director of CPH-
NEW at the University of Connecticut, remarked,
“I was really struck by the enthusiasm and collabo-
ration among researchers, union leaders, [COs] and
federal officials. Now it’s time for solutions.”
Kuehl, who coordinated the meeting held in
Portland, Ore., noted, “With our findings indicating
the high health risks of COs, this is a critical time
to work with labor and management, and state and
federal agencies to make this public safety work-
force a high priority for funded research.” Mazen El
Ghaziri, Ph.D., M.P.H., R.N., coordinates the consor-
tium’s ongoing work and is preparing a conference
13. summary paper, including the roundtable reports.
It will join the presentation materials that are cur-
rently available online.17 El Ghaziri indicated that the
summary paper will lay the groundwork to apply for
future grants and advance policies that protect and
promote health in this high-risk workforce.
Conclusion
The review of CO stressors concluded that, while
there are local efforts and recommended best prac-
tices, there are no proven effective safety and health
programs for COs, and more studies are needed.18
Investigators from both TWH centers are actively
working to fill that gap and enhance the safety and
well-being of COs. At the Oregon Healthy Workforce
Center, Kuehl is analyzing findings from the Oregon
DOC study, a randomized trial of a team-centered,
peer-led scripted safety and health program among
four Oregon facilities. The University of Connecticut’s
DOC study builds on its work that early employment
years may be a particularly vulnerable time for COs.
In addition, its prior studies indicate participatory
approaches that involve all stakeholders in identi-
fying issues and solutions appear to be more effec-
tive.19 The University of Connecticut’s current work
includes educational and mentoring activities for
new hires, as well as programs for established COs
addressing nutrition, fitness, ergonomics and on-the-
job injuries. These New England studies are planned
to run through 2016.
Impacting the safety and well-being of COs pres-
ents challenges. Working behind prison walls, with-
out ongoing interactions with the public, makes COs
less visible than other public safety professions, such
14. as emergency medical services, firefighting and law
enforcement. In addition, as Violanti emphasized
when talking about suicide among police detectives,
the “blue line” of law enforcement culture can be
difficult to traverse when getting individuals to admit
vulnerability, seek out assistance and alter current
practices and culture. For COs, the blue line is a
Impacting the safety and well-being of COs presents challenges.
Working behind prison walls, without ongoing interactions with
the
public, makes COs less visible than other public safety
professions,
such as emergency medical services, firefighting and law
enforcement.
