Health Assets Project 2009

The Health Assets Project is being carried out by the GendiQ research group at the Unit of Social Medicine. The project examines the individual, organisational and societal factors affecting the return to work of people on sick leave, and what factors contribute to people not becoming sick-listed at all. The Health Assets Project is a longitudinal cohort study, with initially two data collection periods. The first was conducted in the spring of 2008 and the second was due in the autumn of 2009. The data was collected through mailed questionnaires and registry data. In the spring of 2008, a survey was mailed out to a sample drawn from the registers held by SCB and Social Insurance, comprising both sick and healthy people registered in the county.  The study population is based on three cohorts; the general population cohort, the sick-listed employer-reported cohort and the sick-listed self-reported cohort. In the first data collection in the spring of 2008, a total of 7 835 people participated, of which the population cohort comprised 4 027 people, the employer-reported cohort 3310 and the self-reported cohort 498. The proportion of women was higher then the men in all three cohorts, 55 % in the population cohort, 66 % in the employer-reported cohort and 65 % in the self-reported cohort.

Purpose:

The specific aims of the project are: 1) To examine the differences in self-reported health between a general population and incident sick-leave cohorts. 2) To examine the work-related factors that promote people returning to work after having been sick-listed. 3)To examine the living conditions, i.e. individual-related and psychosocial factors, that promote people returning to work after having been sick-listed. 4) To examine the factors that during the rehabilitation function as resources or barriers in the process from sick-leave to returning to work.

Dataset includes the 6151 individuals responding to the follow-up questionnaire, in 2009.

健康资产项目（Health Assets Project）由社会医学部门的GendiQ研究团队负责开展。本项目旨在探究影响病假人员重返工作岗位的个体、组织及社会层面因素，同时分析能够完全避免员工进入病假状态的相关要素。
健康资产项目为纵向队列研究（longitudinal cohort study），初始设有两轮数据采集周期：第一轮于2008年春季开展，原计划第二轮于2009年秋季进行。数据通过邮寄问卷与登记数据两种方式收集。
2008年春季，研究团队向由SCB（瑞典中央统计局）与社会保险局登记系统抽取的县域内在册病假及健康人群样本邮寄了调查问卷。本研究基于三类队列构建研究人群：一般人群队列、雇主报告病假队列以及自我报告病假队列。
2008年春季的首轮数据采集阶段，共计7 835人参与研究，其中一般人群队列4 027人、雇主报告病假队列3 310人、自我报告病假队列498人。三类队列中女性占比均高于男性：一般人群队列女性占比55%，雇主报告病假队列66%，自我报告病假队列65%。

研究目标：
本项目的具体研究目标如下：1）对比一般人群队列与新发病假队列的自我报告健康状况差异；2）探究能够促进病假人员重返工作岗位的工作相关影响因素；3）分析助力病假人员重返工作岗位的生活条件，即个体相关因素与社会心理因素；4）梳理在康复过程中，于病假至重返工作岗位的全流程中发挥资源支持或阻碍作用的各类因素。

本数据集包含2009年随访问卷的6151名应答者数据。
