title: Ethnic/racial populations and worksite health promotion.
abstract: This chapter describes the health characteristics and health risks of ethnic-racial populations and the implications for planning and delivering health promotion programs at the worksite. Special consideration is given to occupational stratification, which separates these groups from their white counterparts, thus requiring special attention. Guidelines are given for designing culturally appropriate worksite health promotion programs.
