Abstract

- New methods are needed to complement traditional epidemiological methods in the analyses of complex multivariate exposures. Contextual and comprehensive analyses such as multilevel and cluster analyses are particularly suitable for comparisons of women’s and men’s risk factors for health in working life as well as for guidance in preventive action. Such methodologies are presented in this discussion paper. Contextual and comprehensive (or holistic) approaches help identify the gender structured situations for women and men as well as facilitating the discovery of differences among all women and all men. Empirical studies using these approaches show that it is important to take the gender composition in the workplace and in the sector into consideration when exploring risk factors for health.
