SUMMARY AND CALL FOR PAPERS:
 
"Work, Stress, and Health '95: Creating Healthier Workplaces" is the
third interdisciplinary conference on occupational stress and health
sponsored jointly by the American Psychological Association (APA) and
the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).  APA
and NIOSH are pleased to welcome the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and
the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) as sponsors for the
current conference.
 
"Work, Stress, and Health '95: Creating Healthier Workplaces" will build
upon the two preceding meetings: "Work and Well-Being: An Agenda for the
1990's," (November, 1990), and "Stress in the 90's: A Changing Workforce
in a Changing Workplace," (November, 1992).  The four conference themes
and the list of conference topics (below) identify many of today's
cutting-edge issues in occupational stress research and prevention.
 
Researchers, health and mental health practitioners, managers, and human
resources personnel are invited to submit proposals for paper/poster
presentations, workshops, and symposia on new research findings,
prevention/intervention programs, and policy that address any of four
major conference themes:
 
1.   STRESS, HEALTH, AND THE CHANGING NATURE OF WORK AND ORGANIZATIONS:
     with special emphasis on organizational restructuring, realignment,
     downsizing, and the impact on individuals, families, and the
     workforce.
 
2.   SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL EQUITY IN THE WORKPLACE:  with special
     emphasis on the contingent workforce, child labor, issues of
     diversity and the changing workforce, and lifestyle and privacy
     issues.
 
3.   WORKPLACE VIOLENCE:  including job stress risk factors; prevalence;
     effects on workers, families, and organizations; prevention
     practices, and policies.
 
4.   HEALTH EFFECTS, POLICY, PREVENTION, AND INTERVENTION:  including
     job stress intervention strategies; healthcare costs of stress;
     international policies, legislation and standards; and evaluation
     methods.
