Research project Working conditions, living habits and health before and after the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic

The purpose of the project is to investigate working conditions, living habits and self-rated mental and general health before and after the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, and if there have been changes in these areas, in a nationwide sample of gainfully employed individuals in Sweden.

Furthermore, the purpose is to study these factors in different occupational groups with regard to greater and lesser opportunities for physical distancing — in the form of opportunities to perform the work at a distance, and the degree of physical encounters/contacts with people at work — and exposure to infection at work, and socio-economic groups and different age groups.

This study is based on SLOSH (Swedish Longitudinal study Of Social conditions and Health).

The full title of the project: Working conditions, living habits and health before and after the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in a longitudinal cohort study of the Swedish working population.
