Occupational health disparities : improving the well-being of ethnic and racial minority workers

Author:	Frederick T L Leong; Donald E Eggerth; Chu-Hsiang Chang
Publisher:	Washington, DC : American Psychological Association, [2017]
Series:	APA/MSU series on multicultural psychology.
Edition/Format:	Print book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	Racial and ethnic minority groups in the workforce are prone to higher rates of work-related diseases, injuries, and psychological distress than members of the dominant group. The severity and types of hazards minorities face are also very different because they may work in more physically demanding, labor-intensive jobs that often do not provide full benefits or enough income to access proper health care. Fortunately, the burgeoning field of occupational health psychology (OHP) is ideally positioned to address these disparities and improve conditions for minority workers. To fully understand the needs of racial and ethnic minorities, however, OHP requires a multicultural perspective. This book gathers experts in OHP and multicultural psychology to establish an evidence-based framework that will promote advancements in policy, research, and interventions, all of which are needed to reduce occupational health disparities (OHDs). Chapters review the disparities that Latinos, African Americans, and Asian Americans face in a variety of industries, including agriculture, transportation, construction, nursing, and information technology. They also explore a wide array of issues that impact and are impacted by OHDs, such as socioeconomic status; education; discriminatory and hostile work environments; lack of effective safety training; language proficiency; and other cultural, community, and organizational factors. -- Provided by publisher.  Read more...
