• Description:
  Objective: The study conducts a scoping review of Total Worker Health (TWH) literature to identify disciplines and issues addressed in this field. Methods: We identified 384 citations published from January 2010 - June 2023. Results: Citations were organized by discipline. 9 disciplines and 26 subdisciplines contribute to the knowledge base of TWH. Comparing the bodies of literature with the TWH priority issues showed variation in coverage across disciplines with some overlap in issues covered with occupational health (OH), the discipline with the largest literature, but several disciplines cover issues OH does not. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that many disciplines with potential contributions to TWH have not been incorporated into the mainline TWH literature. The TWH field of research and practice could be advanced by greater collaboration among disciplines to integrate findings with all disciplines addressing worker well-being.
