Health and Work
The section deals with the interactions between work and health. It aims to identify suitable interventions to promote work-related health. We are particularly interested in those stress-resource constellations that, depending on the target group, may be associated with particular vulnerability
Objectives
- To support public health research and practice regarding health and work e.g. on the effectiveness of relevant interventions.
