Module Manager: Prof. Dr. med. DrPH Georg Bauer

This module enables participants to follow a systematic 
action cycle for occupational health interventions: goal 
setting, assessment, planning, implementation, and 
evaluation. Such interventions include any activity to 
improve the physical, mental, and social health of 
employees. Throughout this action cycle, participants 
learn how to combine an evidence-based & participatory approach to achieve the best impact.
Upon completion, students will be able to:
– Assess the major individual, group, leader and 
organizational sources of health in companies
– Access and assess the overall published evidence on 
the effectiveness of specific interventions
– Clarify the value base and define goals of an intervention with key stakeholders
– Plan evidence-based, participatory development & 
implementation of occupational health 
interventions
– Design a process, context, and outcome evaluation, 
select appropriate methods, and specify data 
sources
– Draw conclusions based on evaluation results and 
develop recommendations for future interventions

– Scientific evidence of the effectiveness of interventions and relevant publication formats; article critique
– Overview of intervention principles, strategies, and 
levels of change applied by key occupational health 
disciplines
– Planning models and success factors of occupational 
health interventions
– Participatory priority setting, action planning, and 
reflection of values in interventions
– Consideration of individual and cultural diversity in 
interventions
