Interprofessional Discussion for Knowledge Transfer in a Digital “Community of Practice” for Managing Pneumoconiosis: Mixed Methods Study

Interprofessional Discussion for Knowledge Transfer in a Digital “Community of Practice” for Managing Pneumoconiosis: Mixed Methods Study

Mining dust-related diseases (eg, pneumoconiosis) are increasing in rural United States, especially among coal miners [1-4]. The 2017 prevalence of radiographic pneumoconiosis for coal miners with over 25 years of underground mining experience was greater than 10%, double the prevalence from the late 1990s [1]. Similarly, the 2014 rate of complicated pneumoconiosis (a particularly deadly form) among long-tenured underground coal miners was 1.1%, compared to 0.3% at its lowest point in the late 1990s [5].

Transfer of Knowledge on Pneumoconiosis Care Among Rural-Based Members of a Digital Community of Practice: Cross-Sectional Study

Transfer of Knowledge on Pneumoconiosis Care Among Rural-Based Members of a Digital Community of Practice: Cross-Sectional Study

Recent studies reveal an increasing prevalence and severity of pneumoconiosis (ie, dust-related lung diseases) among US coal workers since the late 1990s [1-7]. Data from the US Coal Workers Health Surveillance Program indicated that the 2017 prevalence of radiographic pneumoconiosis for coal miners with over 25 years of underground mining experience was greater than 10%, which was double the prevalence from the late 1990s.
