Cancer Prevention and Worksite Health Promotion: Time to Join Forces

An essay titled, “Cancer Prevention and Worksite Health Promotion: Time to Join Forces” was published today in Preventing Chronic Disease: www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2014/14_0127.htm


 Ideas presented in the essay stem from discussions held during the Cancer prevention across the lifespan (CPAL)-hosted meeting on “Opportunities for Cancer Prevention in the Workplace” (held July 2013). The essay draws attention to a wide variety of available CDC resources on workplace health promotion and protection and provides ideas for new efforts to advance primary cancer prevention among working adults. 


 The essay was written by the Cancer Prevention in the Workplace Writing Group, which includes individuals from across our Center, as well as individuals from NIOSH, CDC’s Worklife Wellness Office, CDC’s Community Guide Branch, Emory University, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
