This book is the result of an EU-funded project (EU emblem to appear on cover) on planning, implementing, and evaluating health promotion activities in the workplace. It aims to address occupational risks and hazards that are specific to women, or that women are more likely to encounter. The book begins with methodology on health promotion in the workplace, followed by chapters on several health topics particularly important to women. The approach taken by the authors bears in mind that women have a dual role in society, especially in health matters, as they greatly influence the health habits of their family, thus awareness-raising and prevention activities specifically targeting women are a fundamental factor in health promotion for the whole population.
