Health at Work Paperback / softback
Edited by Jonathan E. Fielding, Andrew S. Baum, Stephen M. Weiss
Part of the Perspectives on Behavioral Medicine Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book focuses on the major issues surrounding worksite health promotion programs.
It identifies and discusses examples of the most intensively studied programs (such as Johnson and Johnson's "Live for Life," and AT&T's "TLC"), and considers the "state of science" for the four most frequently offered health-promotion program components: smoking cessation, weight control, exercise, and stress management. As is becoming increasingly evident, worksite health-promotion activities pose their own unique set of challenges -- challenges that are likely to have a significant impact on national health status and costs.
Crucial areas addressed in this volume include program development and design, cost benefit/cost effectiveness, and legislative/policy issues.
