An Online Training Module to Increase Knowledge and Awareness of Chemical Exposures and Safety Measures Among Nail Salon Workers.

Objective: We developed an online training module targeting nail salon workers' knowledge of chemical exposure and safety, responding directly to the workers' expressed needs in a Midwest State.

Methods: Following a needs assessment, we designed and developed the module content. Implementation and evaluation approaches were rolled out into three phases.

Results: Seven workers completed the English version of the module, and 24 workers completed the Vietnamese version. The average pretest scores for those who completed the English and Vietnamese versions of the training were 81.43% and 58.33%, respectively. The average posttest score was 98.57% for English and 91.67% for Vietnamese.

Conclusion: Culturally appropriate educational resources are effective facets of enhancing nail salon workers' awareness and their occupational health subsequently.
