• Description:
  KEY POINTS: In the United States, substantial racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities exist in sleep health. Poor sleep is associated with a wide range of health effects, and therefore, it is important that primary care physicians working in underserved communities are aware of this disparity and target this higher-risk group for focused evaluation and intervention. The workplace, home, and social environment, as well as diet and genetics among other factors, work together to affect an individual's health status. Workplace hazards impact one's overall health status, which in turn impact one's ability to obtain, perform, and tolerate work, as well as gain satisfaction from work. Primary care physicians should be familiar not only with the type of work an individual does but also with workplace hazards and their effects on individual's health and how to address them.
