The purpose of this study is to
establish the most effective means of motivating miners to protect
their hearing. NIOSH will accomplish this by distributing messages
that use positive or negative emotion within a known communication
theoretical framework (the Extended Parallel Processing Model). The
messages that are found to be the most effective in motivating
miners toprotect their hearing will be used to communicate hearing
protection information to miners who were not part of the
study.
