  • Engaging Low-Wage Workers in Health and Well-Being Survey Research

    Erika L Sabbath, M Christine Lovejoy et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2025Cited by: 1References: 35

    Without perspectives of low-wage workers in studies of worker health and well-being, researchers cannot comprehensively assess occupational health and health equity impacts of workplace exposures and interventions. Researchers and practitioners have noted particular challenges in engaging low-wage workers in worksite-based health survey research, yet little scholarship has described strategies for improving their engagement and response rates.

    Open AccessThomas A Kochan, Janice Fine et al.ARTICLEWork and Occupations2023Cited by: 11References: 14

    Emily Feinberg, Rachel Stein et al.ARTICLEFamily & Community Health2012

    Adapting evidence-based interventions to be more accessible and culturally sensitive to the needs of diverse populations is a potential strategy to address disparities in mental health care. We adapted an evidence-based depression-treatment strategy, Problem-Solving Treatment, to prevent depression among low-income mothers with vulnerable children. Intervention adaptations spanned 3 domains: (1) the intervention's new prevention focus, (2) conduc…
