Predictors of time until return to work and duration of sickness absence in sick-listed precarious workers with common mental disorders: a secondary data-analysis of two trials and one cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Common mental disorders (CMD) are highly prevalent among sick-listed precarious workers and often lead to long-term sickness-absence, work disability and unemployment.

Age, gender, baseline employment status, study allocation, severity of psychological symptoms and RTW self-efficacy were evaluated for their predictive value on time until sustainable (≥ 28 days) RTW and duration of sickness absence during 12-month follow-up.
