According to prior reports, blue-collar workers are less likely to participate in worksite health promotion programs than are white-collar workers. This study examined worker participation in the WellWorks worksite cancer prevention intervention, which integrated health promotion and health protection. Analyses were conducted to assess relationships among participation in health promotion and health protection programs, and workers' perceptions of management changes to reduce potential occupational exposures. Results indicate that blue-collar workers were less likely to report participating in health promotion activities than white-collar workers. A significant association was observed between participation in nutrition- and exposure-related activities, suggesting that participation in programs to reduce exposures to occupational hazards might contribute to blue-collar workers' participation in health promotion activities. Furthermore, when workers were aware of changes their employer had made to reduce exposures to occupational hazards, they were more likely to participate in both smoking control and nutrition activities, even when controlling for job category. These findings have clear implications for future worksite cancer prevention efforts.
根据先前的报告，与白领工人相比，蓝领工人参与工作场所健康促进项目的可能性较小。本研究调查了工人对WellWorks工作场所癌症预防干预措施的参与情况，该干预措施整合了健康促进和健康保护。进行了分析以评估参与健康促进和健康保护项目之间的关系，以及工人对管理变革以减少潜在职业暴露的看法。结果表明，与白领工人相比，蓝领工人报告参与健康促进活动的可能性较小。在参与营养和暴露相关活动之间观察到显著关联，这表明参与减少职业危害暴露的项目可能有助于蓝领工人参与健康促进活动。此外，当工人意识到雇主为减少职业危害暴露所做的改变时，即使在控制工作类别后，他们更有可能参与吸烟控制和营养活动。这些发现对未来工作场所癌症预防工作具有明确的启示意义。
