A Regression-Ready Data Collection: Occupational Conditions and Musculoskeletal Disorders Dummy Coded for Symptoms and Outcomes

This is an analytical data collection meticulously prepared for a regression analysis, specifically linking 43 U.S. occupational conditions to the incidence of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). The raw data was transformed into a regression-ready format by partitioning the information into sub-collections, applying a binary dummy code (0 or 1), and then recombining the data. This crucial step was performed to dummy code the MSDs for symptoms and outcomes, enabling their use as moderating variables in quantitative modeling. This collection directly supports the analysis and findings presented in the associated paper, titled: "Job-Related Determinants of Musculoskeletal Disorders in U.S. Occupations."
