PERISTRAG: Perception of Risks Into Work During Pregnancy Among Post-partum Women in the Lille Metropolis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In ten years, the labor force has grown by 1.4 million people according to French national institute for statistical and economic studies. This increase is partly due to the increased presence of women in the labor market. Thus, the majority of some 800,000 annual births come from working women. However, some women in professional activity may be exposed to occupational risks, which may have effects on the develop-ment of the fetus during pregnancy. France benefits from protective legislative measures against pregnant women. Recommendations already exist.
But with medical desertification, pregnant women may have more difficulty contacting their occupational doctor or treating physician and to access information about the risks to her work-related pregnancy.
It seems to us important to be able to better quantify the information needs of women in this problem.
