title: Educating blue collar workers: the challenge of program development.
abstract: 1. Blue collar workers are less likely than other workers to participate in worksite health programs. 2. Effective health intervention methods require an understanding of factors that influence a worker's decision regarding participation. 3. Negative factors can be transformed into opportunities to encourage healthy behavior. 4. Meaningful education can develop within workers a sense of empowerment that they possess the capacity to modify health practices.
