Assessing the Role of Collective Efficacy Beliefs During Participative Occupational Health Interventions

Background: For group-based participatory interventions in the context of occupational health, no questionnaires exist to assess the participants' active engagement in the interventions. On the basis of the construct of collective efficacy beliefs, this study has developed a questionnaire with...
