Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of VALES+Tú in reducing hazardous exposures at work and to determine the mediating effect of psychosocial stressors on VALES+Tú primary outcomes

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

individual (Brief Motivational Intervention)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

individual -Brief Motivational Intervention (BMI)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A baseline survey will be administered prior to the session.Sessions will be initiated by exploring working conditions and psychosocial factors that may influence risk for work related injuries. If the LDL is motivated to change the target behavior, a 'change plan' will be developed which involves identifying reasons for change, goals in making change, specific actions and timelines, and others who may help the person change. The final step will be the development of a personal safety plan to reduce work place risks and a discussion of the following topics: (a) how they will know if their plan is successful, (b) potential obstacles, and (c) what the worker can do if the plan does not work. Finally,each worker will be asked to write and sign a personal pledge ("Mi Promesa") to implement his own safety plan.Follow-up surveys will be conducted 4 weeks after the baseline survey.

Group (Group Problem Solving)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Group (Group Problem Solving)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants will be administered a baseline survey prior to session. The GPS intervention consists of a discussion between 2-5 LDLs and a trained group facilitator. The sessions will last 30-45 minutes and are intended to encourage and support Latino day laborers (LDL) to act to reduce work-related hazards and promote worksite safety. The intervention combines four participatory and group problem solving activities to engage in collaborative learning: an icebreaker, the risk identification, action planning, and Nuestra Promesa (Our Pledge). The last activity requires LDL to select a risk reduction behavior and then to fill out and sign a card detailing a pledge to implement a safety plan. Follow up surveys will be conducted four weeks post intervention, to assess participants' change in attitudes, beliefs, and risk reducing behavior and their implementation or their safety plan.

Standard of Care

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Standard of Care (OSHA 10 Safety Cards)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participant will be administered a baseline survey prior to the session.Participants in this standard of care control group will receive four wallet size cards with information about risk reduction strategies to deal with the four hazards responsible for most workplace fatalities in Texas: falls, struck by, heat exposure and cuts. The laminated cards are adapted from OSHA's website publicly available materials in Spanish for workers with limited literacy.
