Occupational Health and Sleep Issues in Underserved Populations
Abstract
Sleep disorders and occupational hazards, injuries, and illnesses impact an individual's overall health. In the United States, substantial racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities exist in sleep and occupational health. Primary care physicians working in underserved communities should be aware of this disparity and target these higher-risk populations for focused evaluation and intervention.
Keywords: Burden of occupational injury and illness; Occupational hazards, injuries and illnesses in underserved worker populations; Sleep disorders; Sleep health disparities; Workers’ compensation.
