Rezension zu „Promoting Health for Working Women “
From the reviews:"Filled with useful tips for public health care workers, the 13 articles of this volume address health and its promotion for working women. ... The articles are based on European case studies but have been tailored towards practical application, with reports on the research findings and EU standards accompanied by bulleted lists of suggestions for health promotion." (www.booknews.com, April, 2008)"This book describes workplace health promotion and argues for gender-specific programs ... . It is accessible to those without expertise in health promotion or occupational safety and health. ... The editors have succeeded in covering the breadth of issues regarding workplace health promotion and make a solid argument for addressing the specific needs of working women. ... a valuable resource for public health professionals involved in the design and/or implementation of the programs. The book would also be a useful teaching tool." (Kathleen M. Vetter, Doody's Review Service, October, 2008)
