Special Issue Information
This Special Issue adopts a multidisciplinary international orientation focusing on occupational health and safety and injury prevention and covers national and international perspectives on occupational health and injury. Topics of focus include economic issues for occupational health and safety; working life, work schedule, work, and family; diversity and discrimination; aggressions; unintentional injuries (including but not limited to road traffic injuries, drowning, falls, burns, poisoning, and animal bites); intentional injuries such as violence, self-harm, suicide, homicide, neglect, and abuse, including workplace aggression; and injury prevention and safety promotion aiming a translational or evidence-based practice. We are interested in both theoretical approaches (deductive) and descriptive inductive approaches. In addition, any author-initiated topics focusing on occupational issues, prevention, and promotion are welcome.
