✦ Synopsis
dixes, community resources are listed, including the means to determine which of them are appropriate to specific situations or programs.
The second section presents synopses of 17 existing worksite health promotion programs, located mostly within major American corporations. The program spensor, its objectives, target population, structure and activities, cost (to the employee and to management), special features, and evaluations of each program are presented. Although these programs almost exclusively represent large industry, the diversity among them is worthy of note.
The final section contains a dozen background papers authored by noted members of the health-promotion community. Paper topics include behavior change at the worksite, health hazard appraisal, the perspectives of industry regarding health promotion, control of smoking, hypertension, and obesity at the worksite, and a review of cost-effectiveness issues.
This book is a valuable addition to the literature on the important but little documented area of worksite health promotion. Concise and well-written, management and worksite health-care officials would both be advised to read this book if interested in developing health-promotion programming. This text will not, nor is it intended to, instruct readers in the mechanics of program development, but it will allow interested readers to ponder the relevant issues, ask the right questions, and contact the appropriate persons or organizations.
Students of health promotion, in both the literal and figurative sense, will also find this book worthwhile. The presentation of existing worksite programs and the background papers may be of particular interest. In addition, the book is well documented and a good source of references.
Although begun in 1979, this book is up-to-date and relevant. The recent flurry of activity in worksite health promotion notwithstanding, the basic issues, suggestions, and information presented in this work are current and pertinent.
