Return to work - Remain in work

Aim

The overall aim was to longitudinally follow a general population cohort and a cohort of sick-listed employed women and men, and examine if the combination of work organisational factors and individual work commitment predict remain in work and return to work, and if workplace-based measures and co-operation are associated with return to work.

Data Collection 

This project is based on data from The Health Assets project at Sahlgrenska academy, University of Gothenburg. Baseline data collection was prolonged from 15 April 2008 to 30 June 2008. In total there were 7,835 participants of which 61% were women. The general population cohort consisted of 4,027 participants and a sick-listed cohort of 3,808.
