IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 268: Comparison of Health Behaviors of Healthcare Workers and the General Public in Israel: A Cross-Sectional Survey

HCWs’ suboptimal “health profile” mandates implementing policies to improve their knowledge of recommended health behaviors, primarily targeting physicians, even at an early phase of their professional journey.
