SECONDARY
Findings from the univariate analysis showed that most health-related, psychological and work-related factors predicting slower RTW at 6 months also predicted slower RTW at 12 months. However, we found no association between neither age nor stress and slower RTW at 12 months. Moreover, having primary education was only associated with slower RTW compared to academic or professional training but not secondary education. Slower RTW at 12 months was also associated with being male, being unmarried and the SAPAS item would you describe yourself as a loner (Table The results of the multivariate analysis showed that slower RTW at 12 months was associated with being male, being unmarried, lower scores on QOLS and RTW-SE, psychiatric comorbidity and being on sick leave from unemployment compared to employment (Table In the CMD group, no association was found between RTW and ASRS score ≥ 7, sick leave duration or the rest of the SAPAS items.
