| Abstract | Objective: To determine whether the Occupational Information Network (O*NET) database can be used to identify job dimensions to serve as proxy measures for psychosocial factors and select environmental factors, and to determine whether the the factors could be linked to national health surveys to examine associations with health risk behaviors and outcomes. Methods: job characteristics were obtained from O*NET 98. Health outcomes were obtained from two national surveys. Data were linked using Bureau of Census codes. Multiple logistic regression was used to examine associations between O*NET factors and cardiovascular disease, depression, and health risk factors. Results: Seven of nine work organization or psychosocial factors were significantly associated with health risk behaviors In both the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III and National Health Interview Survey. Conclusions: This study demonstrates a method for linking independently obtained. health and job characteristic data based on occupational code. | | Keywords | Statistical-analysis; Psychological-factors; Psychological-responses; Psychological-stress; Sociological-factors; Sociology; Work-environment; Worker-health; Workplace-studies; Health-surveys | | Contact | Toni Alterman, NIOSH, Division of Surveillance Hazard Evaluation & Field Studies, MS-R17, 5555 Ridge Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45213 | | CODEN | JOEMFM | | Publication Date | 20081201 | | Document Type | Journal Article | | Email Address | talterman@cdc.gov | | Fiscal Year | 2009 | | NTIS Accession No. | | | NTIS Price | | | Issue of Publication | 12 | | ISSN | 1076-2752 | | NIOSH Division | DSHEFS; DART | | Priority Area | Agriculture, Forestry and Fishing | | Source Name | Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine | | State | OH |
