2023 Work, Stress and Health Conference: Interdisciplinary Scoping Review of Literature Relating to Worker Health, Safety, and Well-Being

Abstract: 
  • The Outreach Core of the California Labor Laboratory (CALL) undertook a scoping review of health, safety, and well-being-related literatures.
  • This scoping review was conducted with the intent of establishing a more extensive Total Worker Health® (TWH) knowledge base from which researchers and practitioners could extend their efforts toward greater integration of TWH principles through a more robust platform of collaboration with their interdisciplinary partners.
  • Hypothesis: Awareness and greater appreciation of the roles other disciplines can play in the development of integrated and holistic approaches to worker health, safety, and well-being are key to advancing the impact of TWH policies, practices, and programs.
