Working conditions and weil-being among women office workers

In 1983 the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health launched a comprehensive study of the relationship of working conditions to health and well‐being among women office workers, in the context of women's dual roles as employees and family members. Extensive questionnaire, interview, and ergonomic data were collected in 1985. This report presents data from the questionnaires of 625 women office workers at four work sites—public and private—in the United States.
