Explanation of terms used in the Draft Agenda
for the STEPS symposium
Plenary – Everyone is invited
to attend and there are no other events operating
in opposition. Plenary sessions will include Keynote
addresses and Plenary Panel presentations. There
may be limited Q&A or comments from the audience
as time and format permits.
Workgroups – Groups of participants
who will start off with a draft background paper
and with the charge to meet and develop a draft
final report at the end of the meeting. The background
paper will be developed in advance for each work
group and will be distributed before the Symposium
begins. Each paper will be summarized in the first
plenary panel at the beginning of the Symposium
before the workgroups are charged. The first workgroup
meeting will take place the first afternoon. There
will be approximately 2-4 discussants pre-identified
for each work group who, along with the primary
paper author will be the “core” group
responsible for reporting out on the third day.
Workgroup meetings in addition to the first afternoon
can take place, as needed, during a concurrent session.
Each workgroup will be “interactive”
and facilitated with contributions solicited both
from the discussants and general participants. In
addition to the background papers and plenary presentations,
there may be other brief presentations on narrow
topics in the workgroups.
The goal of each group is as follows:
Science – Review the current
state of relevant science and initiate the development
of a research agenda
Policy & Practices –
Review relevant policies/practices and recommend
development & research needs
Economics – Review key economic interrelationships
and the work that has been done to measure and describe
them. Describe common useful metrics & priority
research needs.
Concurrent Sessions: These will
either be interactive workshops, thematic scientific
sessions, or poster sessions. Most workshops will
be organized around sectors, risk factors, diseases
or tools/approaches. Most sessions will follow a
workshop format with 2-4 short presentations followed
by group dialog. Some sessions will include oral
presentations from submitted abstracts.
Concurrent Sessions: Most concurrent
sessions will explore current programs; best practices;
barriers to success; recommendations for overcoming
the barriers with a common goal of improved impact
on the health of people who work. A NIOSH assignee,
in conjunction with the workshop chair or co-chairs,
will prepare a 1-2 page report from each workshop
for inclusion in the Symposium report. Other sessions
will present scientific findings relevant to the
themes of the Symposium.
Posters have been solicited to either present relevant
scientific (e.g., evaluating the economic impact
of a specific program or policy) or programmatic
(describing programs for health promotion and/or
health protection, that are separate or combined)
information.
Thematic scientific sessions maybe organized to
include platform presentations and discussion, preferably
on a common theme such as intervention effectiveness
research, economic analysis approaches, health risk
appraisal, etc.
