title: An epidemiological study of hand eczema. VI. A follow-up of hairdresser trainees, with the focus on various health complaints.
abstract: The aim of this follow up study was to show how career dropouts among young hairdressers are related to various health complaints. Questionnaires were sent to 286 hairdressers, who had been registered as trainees three to five years earlier. The forms were returned from 124 hairdressers, of whom 26 (21%) reported that they stopped working as hairdressers because of various health complaints. Eight (6.5%) left their job because of skin conditions.
