Abstract
Many researchers now recognize that aspects of the workplace not only increase the risk of injury and illness but also impact health behaviors and health outcomes. This chapter reports on a survey of employers' current practices in the Midwest and compares the results to a single state survey conducted several years before that it also examines workplace programs to determine changes in the adoption of programs, policies, and practices. There is a critical need for Total Worker Health programs in the Midwest. The states in this region suffer disproportionately from higher burdens of occupational injury and illness, as well as high rates of unhealthy behaviors compared to other regions of the country. These organizations typically do not have programs addressing worker health promotion. The chapter discusses Iowa state wide survey and case studies of small employers. It also details a survey of small employers in the Midwest. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
