Prevalence and Effect of Detecting Common Mental Disorders in Long-term Sickness Absence (PRW)

November 14, 2013 updated by: Hans Joergen Soegaard, Region MidtJylland Denmark
The hypothesis was that a large fraction of individuals with common mental disorders were undetected in long-term sickness and that detection of the disorders by screening, a psychiatric diagnostic examination and feedback to the individuals, primary care, and rehabilitation officers improved return to work, improved quality of life and reduced psychological distress.
