Résumé
The literature shows substantial differences in occupational exposure between men and women, both between and within occupations, but remains very sparse on whether interventions are tailored to gender differences in the workplace.
Our objective was to determine whether gender differences are taken into account when designing prevention interventions.
This study is part of a project on the evaluation of interventions implemented in the framework of the “Healthy Enterprise” standard in Quebec organizations. Three sets of quantitative and qualitative data were collected in seven organizations and triangulated.
Our results show that in the process of elaborating and implementing activities, the main objectives were to reach a maximum number of workers and meet the needs identified in the health and risk diagnosis. Not distinguishing men’s and women’s situations in this diagnosis might play a role in intervention design. Activities were not tailored to the needs of specific subgroups of employees, such as gender or age.
