Abstract: The goal of this study is to collect data on the burden of work-related injuries and psychosocial stress among applied behavior analysis workers in the United States by administering a web-based, direct contact, one-time survey to applied behavior analysis workers. Data will be analyzed using chi-square tests, analysis of variance, and generalized linear models, as appropriate. The results of the survey will be used to identify objectives and priorities for intervention research to improve the safety of the workplace, reduce injury, and improve the well-being of applied behavior analysis workers.
