Existing researches mostly focus on the qualitative analysis of dual prevention mechanisms, such as the relevant concept definitions, specific industries practice, information system design, etc. However, systematic and in-depth quantitative research on the influencing factors of dual prevention mechanism construction is relatively scarce. Considering these, to effectively improve the operation effect of dual prevention mechanisms for Chinese coalmine, 6 types of internal and external factors impacting dual prevention mechanism construction are systematically analyzed according to Stakeholder Theory, and theoretical model about impacting mechanisms is established based on TPB. Secondly, we use 626 valid questionnaires as evidence source and SEM as evidence production method to test the fitting degree, direct effect and mediating effect of theoretical model. Finally, we deeply reveal the influence path and impact intensity of 6 factors on the willingness and behavior of dual prevention mechanism construction in coal enterprise. Meanwhile, policy suggestions are proposed to strengthen the dual prevention mechanism construction in coal enterprise. Results indicate that: ①Enterprise safety climate, cognition from management layer, government supervision and public monitoring can not only directly affect, but also indirectly affect the behavior of dual prevention mechanism construction through the willingness of dual prevention mechanism construction. ②Overall impact intensity of 6 factors on the behavior of dual prevention mechanism construction ranks: public monitoring > government supervision > cognition from management layer > employee safety attitude > enterprise safety climate > enterprise organization and management ability. ③External thrusts/pressures that promote the dual prevention mechanism construction in coal enterprise still cannot be ignored, while internal driving forces need to be further strengthened.</p>","PeriodicalId":47014,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Injury Control and Safety Promotion","volume":" ","pages":"360-375"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144334113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, most existing studies mainly focus on temporal instability from year to year, ignoring the spatial difference between rural and urban areas. To examine spatiotemporal instability, this study uses North Carolina as a case study and divides the six-year (2017-2022) active traveller crashes into four sub-datasets according to distinct spatial and temporal characteristics. An explainable and balanced machine learning framework is designed to address the challenges associated with small sample size and imbalanced crash data and explore factors affecting active traveller injury severities. Results demonstrate that spatial instability has a greater impact than temporal instability.

Although many studies have analyzed crash severity at HRGCs, they often rely on national datasets or a narrow set of variables, frequently overlooking region-specific factors such as roadway design, driver behavior, and local environmental conditions. However, this study contributes to the existing body of literature by providing additional insights into the factors associated with injury severity in HRGC crashes. This study aimed to model HRGC crash severity using statistical and machine learning methods, specifically Ordinal Logistic Regression (OLR) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms, to determine significant factors associated with severe injury HRGC crashes. The statistical modeling and analyses were based on five years of HRGC crash data (2017-2021) at state-maintained HRGCs in Florida. Based on the OLR statistical model, ten variables were significant at a 95% confidence interval: crashes that occurred in the morning peak hours, no lighting condition, adverse weather conditions, railway vehicle (i.e. train or train engine), driver action (i.e. disregarded signs, signals, markings as well as other contributing actions), a speed limit of greater than 45 mph, four-lane highways, driver younger than 25, female drivers, crashes that occurred at the railroad crossings, and estimated vehicle damage of more than $1,000. Results from the OLR model indicate that all significant variables increase the likelihood of an HRGC crash being more severe, except for the time of crash occurrence (morning peak), adverse weather conditions, and drivers under 25 years of age. According to the RF model, the most important (top five) factors affecting the injury severity of HRGC crashes include estimated vehicle damage, posted speed limit, type of shoulder, driver action, and crash type. Except for the type of shoulder and crash type, the RF model results are consistent with those of the OLR model.

Students are continuously exposed to the risks of falls, in the school environment. Therefore, a thorough examination of student behaviours and the environmental conditions of schools is of significant importance for preventing fall-related injuries in students. This study aims to investigate the influential factors for preventing fall-related injuries among primary school students using the PRECEDE model. This cross-sectional study has been done among 428 primary school students from grades one to six in schools of Hamadan city, located in western Iran. The students were selected randomly through a multi-stage cluster sampling method and data collection has been done between December 2023 and February 2024. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire based on the PRECEDE model. The questionnaire was included three sections including demographic questions, questions related to the constructs of the PRECEDE model (preventive behaviour constructs; predisposing factors including knowledge and attitude; reinforcing factors; enabling factors; and environmental factors), and questions concerning the history of fall-related injuries at school. The data collection has been done through interviews with the students. Data were analyzed using SPSS24 software after collection. The results of this study revealed that out of 428 students, 131(30.6%) experienced falls, with ages ranging from 7 to 12 years and an average age of 9.5 ± 1.70 years. Among these, 54 (41.2%) were females and 77 (58.7%) were males. The findings indicate that males experienced more falls than females, and females exhibited better preventive behaviours than males (<i>p</i> = 0.002). Most falls occurred in the schoolyard (37.4%) and during recess time (40.5%). The most common types of injuries were abrasions (28.2%) and head injuries (24.4%). Additionally, the findings showed that parents' education level was significantly associated with preventive fall behaviours among students. Hence, the students with parents who had higher education levels (mothers' education with (<i>p</i> = 0.02) and fathers' education with (<i>p</i> = 0.03) demonstrated better preventive behaviours and were less at risk of falls. Among the constructs of the PRECEDE model, the predisposing factors of knowledge (<i>p</i> = 0.04) and attitude (<i>p</i> = 0.001), enabling factors (<i>p</i> = 0.02), and environmental factors (<i>p</i> = 0.03) had a significant relationship with fall-preventive behaviours. According to the statistical results, the attitude construct was the predictor of students' fall- preventive behaviours.
