| Abstract |
Reviews literature concerning the impact of work on reproductive health. Little has been published on the effects of design and management of work and the subsequent experience of stress on reproductive health, sexual behavior, intercourse, conception, pregnancy, birth, and postnatal behavior. Any investigation into reproductive health must be sensitive and explore medical, psychological, social, and sociodemographic variables. Methodological concerns include an overemphasis on psychiatric morbidity, inattention to temporal influences, gender-based confounds, difficulties in identifying control groups, and ethical and practical issues.
