Summary

Objectives: To identify core and cross-time workplace hazards and worker's exposure prevention profile towards outbreaks in three non-healthcare work settings; to evaluate effectiveness of a theory-based educational programme on improving attitude to vaccination and virus testing in workplace; to longitudinally compare attitude of willingness to vaccination, testing of SARS-CoV-2 and changes of risk profile toward outbreaks among workers.

Design: A 5-year study comprising a randomized controlled trial (RCT) and 3 parallel longitudinal studies with baseline and follow-up repeated measurements.

Setting: Non-office, mobile and office work settings. Participants: Part I is a RCT, 294 workers will be randomised to an intervention group (a theory-based education programme) and a control group with measurements repeated at 3rd, 6th and 9th month. Part II is a longitudinal quantitative study (i.e., prospective cohort study) involving 1,495 workers recruited at the baseline and followed up for 2 years. Part III is a longitudinal qualitative study involving 26 management and frontline workers. Part IV is a longitudinal workplace hygiene study involving 6 workplaces enrolled at the baseline and followed up to conduct ventilation investigation.

Intervention: Theory-based education intervention to build positive attitude of control measures towards SARS-CoV-2 outbreak.

Main outcome measure: Workplace hygiene data (airflow, air volume, etc.); willingness to vaccination and virus tests; actual uptake of SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing.

Data analyses: Multivariate regression logistic model and thematically analysed will be performed for quantitative and qualitative analysis. Intention-to-treat analysis will be employed for RCT.

Expected results: Large dataset of longitudinal measurement of willingness to vaccination/testing and actual uptake will be documented to inform policy. Educational intervention will be developed to mitigate risks of outbreaks in workplace.

Conditions

  • Intention to Get SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination
  • Intention to Get SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Test

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Theory of planned behaviours (TPB) based intervention

Intervention group will receive TPB-based education program to improve workers' attitude toward SARS-CoV-2 and raise their intention to vaccination and virus testing. The intervention will be implemented at the baseline with measurements repeated at the 3rd month, 6th month and 9th month. The standardized mode of intervention includes face-to-face/online seminar (depends on the COVID-19 situation), message via mobile phone, promotion pamphlet, etc.
