This course is part of the minor 'Five big issues in health'. The course focuses on the big issues in occupational health: It gives both insights in workplace factors affecting health and tools for keeping chronically ill patients working. Students will work focus on a specific occupational group, map the most important risks for developing a work-related disease, and design a worksite health intervention to reduce those risks. The occupational group will be used as guidance to gain insight into the models, theories, and methodological issues specific for the work setting.

Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
