    Preemployment health screenings revealed significant health issues in young, minority job applicants, including infections and chronic conditions. Tailored health protocols are needed for manpower training programs due to these unique findings.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Occupational Medicine
    • Preventive Medicine

    Background:

    • Preemployment health examinations are standard in industrial medicine.
    • They establish baseline health and identify physical limitations for employees.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate a multiphasic health screening for young, minority applicants to an urban manpower training program.
    • To compare findings with typical industrial preemployment screening results.

    Main Methods:

    • A multiphasic health screening examination was administered.
    • The study included 662 young, minority applicants.
    • Data on serology, gonorrhea cultures, ethanol ingestion, visual acuity, and dental health were collected.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • 1% had positive serology.
    • 3% had positive gonorrhea cultures.
    • 13% showed excessive ethanol ingestion with liver enlargement.
    • 24% had decreased visual acuity.
    • 23% had dental caries.

    Conclusions:

    • Health findings in this cohort differed significantly from those in industrial preemployment screenings.
    • A specific health screening protocol is recommended for manpower training program applicants.
    • Early identification of health issues can inform targeted interventions.
