Job stress. Who doesn't have it? The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has produced "Working with Stress," a training and educational video program on the topic of workplace stress. The new program, available in DVD and VHS videocassette, describes factors that can create or exacerbate worker stress. More important, it suggests practical measures for reducing job-related stress through changes in work organization. To request a free copy of "Working with Stress," send an e-mail to nioshtv@cdc.gov or visit the agency's Web site at www.cdc.gov/niosh.
