“…The average time to complete all modules required to receive human subjects research certification is about 2 to 4 hours depending on the organization’s requirements (Hansen & Braunschweiger, 2000), and a refresher course may be required approximately every 3 years or as required byan institution. Most researchers find the CITI training program too complex for those with limited research experience and recommend tailoring human subjects training to meet the needs of nonresearchers or community partners (Anderson, 2015; Hawley, Wieland, Weis, & Sia, 2014; Kue, Szalacha, Happ, Crisp, & Menon, 2017; Merritt et al, 2010; Solomon & Piechowski, 2011; Terpstra, Coleman, Simon, & Nebeker, 2011).…”

Institutions are required to ensure that persons involved in human subjects research receive appropriate human subjects protections training and education. Several organizations use the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI) program to fulfill training requirements. Most researchers find the CITI program too complex for community members who collaborate with researchers. This study aimed to determine the readability of CITI modules most frequently used in community-based participatory research (CBPR). The mean readability level of the CITI modules is 14.8 grade; CBPR readability levels ranged from 11.6 to 12.0 grade (sixth- to eighth-grade reading level is recommended). With a baseline objective measure, modifications can be made to improve the plain language quality and understandability of human subjects training modules for community members.

“…Nebeker et al (2015) in their human research ethics training for promotores included culturally relevant scenarios, which they called "situations," to read and discuss. Likewise, Kue et al (2018) in their training with Cambodian and Lao women incorporated scenarios, cultural references, and example situations in the local community. Their trainings, like ours, had space for trainees to ask for clarifications and solve problems.…”

Because of the increase in community-engaged research, several human research ethics trainings for laypeople have been developed. We aim to (1) describe the pedagogical tailoring of a research ethics training for laypeople for a research study where promotores—community health workers—delivered an intervention to increase health care access and promote healthy behaviors among Latinos and (2) present results of the application of the training after 4 months in the field. We tailored a previously developed training to Latino community members implementing a research study. Key modifications included (1) translation (2) use of pedagogical tools, such as cooperative learning, role-plays, and inclusion of cultural preferences. One novel addition was to use dialogues that the trainees enacted and then discussed. We evaluated the training with a posttraining survey with eight community liaisons and 13 promotores implementing the intervention, and a focus group with eight promotores, 4 months after working in the field. Trainees said they felt confident obtaining informed consent, felt the dialogues were realistic and helped them remember what they learned, and wanted more feedback from trainers on their performance. Promotores demonstrated the application of ethical principles beyond the training by discussing the possibility of advertising broadly in social media (justice), the risks and benefits of providing community resources to participants (beneficence), and the university’s role in legitimizing their position as promotores (respect). We conclude that a pedagogically tailored ethics research training for laypeople can be successful and that dialogues to be enacted need to be explored further.

“…The significance of the study and their role in contributing to the betterment of their work environment by concerned parties was explained to all food-service workers. Protecting research participants from unethical treatment and infringement of rights is an assigned responsibility of all researchers conducting a study on human subjects (Kue et al 2018). As the study traverses cultures, the researcher acknowledges the sensitivity of matters relating to culturally specific behaviour.…”

Peer review declarationThe publisher (AOSIS) endorses the South African 'National Scholarly Book Publishers Forum Best Practice for Peer Review of Scholarly Books'. The manuscript underwent an evaluation to compare the level of originality with other published works and was subjected to rigorous two-step peer review before publication, with the identities of the reviewers not revealed to the editor(s) or author(s). The reviewers were independent of the publisher, editor(s), and author(s). The publisher shared feedback on the similarity report and the reviewers' inputs with the manuscript's editor(s) or author(s) to improve the manuscript. Where the reviewers recommended revision and improvements, the editor(s) or author(s) responded adequately to such recommendations. The reviewers commented positively on the scholarly merits of the manuscript and recommended that the book be published.v Research justificationThis book focuses on the environmental ergonomics of restaurant kitchens and the challenges related hereto in a semi-tropical city, Durban, from a chef's perspective. It establishes the urgent need for commercial kitchens to be conducive to the wellbeing of kitchen workers, as heat illness is unreported in this industry. This research is relevant from occupational health and safety point of view. It evaluates the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) parameters such as heat, ventilation and humidity, noise and lighting in kitchens, and it is cognisant that with different cuisines, the kitchen loads are different. The goal of occupational safety is health intervention for worker comfort to enhance work performance. The book generates new knowledge regarding the factors affecting the body mass index of kitchen workers, prediction of heat and humidity near cooking stoves, discomfort near ovens, lighting in preparation areas and factors affecting reaction to stove noise. The book implements an exploratory design with multiple-case studies. The manuscript is structured into broad chapters on heat, ventilation and humidity, noise and lighting. Data analysis is an essential component of new knowledge, and a detailed description will promote certain research concepts among scholars to acquire research skills. The themes move from the hospitality industry in general and narrow down to commercial kitchens and specifically aim at students learning and training in culinary skills. The book accordingly scrutinises theory in respect of the relationship between individual differences and contextual components, and it factored these into controlled heat in a work environment and other IEQ parameters. This book advances existing physical conditions, as well as physiological and psychological influences of these parameters in commercial kitchens on worker relief-seeking behaviour adaptations. A ground-breaking new framework that optimises workstation comfort levels of kitchen workers is presented, hence offering insightful environmental contributions to improve commercial kitchen design and awareness among kitchen designers, erg...
