Objectives
• To describe the integrated knowledge translation activities + participatory research approach of the Truckers Research for Innovative Health Promotion Programs (TRIHPP) group
Why Truckers?Men 2006 Employment 2001 to 2006
Employment ChangeRetail salespersons and sales clerks 285,800 63,600
Truck drivers 276,200 40,900
Retail trade managers 192,200 -8,100
Janitors, caretakers and building superintendents 154,100 18,800
Farmers and farm managers 147,800 -21,200
Material handlers 147,000 13,900
Automotive service technicians, truck and bus mechanics and mechanical repairers 143,000 20,400
Carpenters 142,400 32,900
Construction trades helpers and labourers 133,600 47,500
Sales, marketing and advertising managers 102,600 10,200
Most prevalent occupations for men in Canada , 2006

Why Truckers?• Trucking industry plays a major role in the Canadian economy• Occupation with highest lost time injury in Ontario (WSIB 2006)• Truck drivers have higher than average health risks and poorer than
average lifestyle behaviours, in large part due to the working environment
• Trucking Association of America (2007) health screening study– 49% were obese, 39 % were overweight and 31% had high
blood pressure.• Some health issues (e.g. BP, Diabetes, sleep apnea, stroke) can
limit driver’s ability to work
• No Canadian data on prevalence of risks to inform programs and strategies
Need for Integrated KT in Trucker Research
• Few/no connections between the industry and research• Complex industry, contracted drivers, little systematic support for drivers beyond Occupational Health
and Safety at company• Challenging workplace conditions• Difficult to reach/engage participants• Research cannot be relevant without input from industry
Participatory Research ~ Integrated KT Link
Participatory Research (PR)“The systematic enquiry, with the collaboration of those affected by the issue being studied, for the purpose of education and taking action or effecting social change.”
Integrated Knowledge Translation (IKT)A collaborative way of doing research. The action-oriented co- production of knowledge engaging researchers and stakeholders (knowledge users) of the research results. Involves integrating stakeholders into the entire research process study.

Our research phase
Identifying issues-needs assessment
CIHR Funded Meetings
Setting the stage to:•Adapt knowledge to local context•Assess barriers to knowledge use•Select/tailor implementation
Objectives: to bring together stakeholders from multiple sectors and disseminate survey results, start discussions, engage a group to continue advising research
