The Boston Hospital Workers Health Study (BHWHS) is a longitudinal, integrated open cohort consisting of employer data and survey data on approximately 16 000 hospital-based patient care workers aged 18-72, based at two hospitals in Massachusetts, USA.
It represents an employer-researcher intellectual partnership between Partners HealthCare, and the Harvard T.H. Chan Centre for Work, Health, and Wellbeing.
Data include individual-level, employer-provided data on health care spending, workplace injury, staffing, human resources and workload, and survey data on a subset of workers (on working conditions, self-reported health conditions and health behaviours).
Workers are grouped into work-groups or units, allowing multilevel in addition to longitudinal analyses.
Although the data are restricted in how they can be distributed (although the team is open to collaboration from outside researchers), the BHWHS is a model of the public health benefits of data collaborations between researchers and employers. This cohort profile serves as a guide to other researcher-employer teams looking to establish a similar database and collaboration.

队列资料:波士顿医院工人健康研究(BHWHS)
波士顿医院工人健康研究(BHWHS)是一项纵向的开放式队列研究,由雇主数据和调查数据构成,这些数据来自美国马萨诸塞州两所医院的约1.6万名18-72岁的医院护理人员。
它代表了Partners HealthCare与哈佛TH Chan工作,健康与福祉中心之间的雇主与研究者之间的智力合作。
数据包括雇主提供的有关医疗保健支出,工作场所伤害,人员配备,人力资源和工作量的个人级别数据,以及有关一部分工人的调查数据(关于工作条件,自我报告的健康状况和健康行为)。
工人分为工作组或单位,除了纵向分析外,还可以进行多层次的工作。
尽管数据在如何分配方面受到限制(尽管该团队欢迎外部研究人员进行合作),但BHWHS是研究人员与雇主之间数据合作对公共健康收益的一种模型。该队列资料可为其他希望建立类似数据库和协作关系的研究人员-雇主团队提供指导。
