Inequities in reporting asbestos-related lung cancer: influence of smoking stigma and physician’s specialty, workload and role perception

Abstract

The results of this French study appear applicable to various countries and contexts. To make physicians and especially GPs more aware of occupational health and smoking stigma, officials and educators must give these topics higher priority during initial training and continuing medical education. Tools and equipment that take time constraints into account should be developed and disseminated to help physicians manage occupational diseases.
