Low social capital at work is associated with increased risk of perceived age discrimination
Age discrimination at work is negatively associated with older workers’ labour market attachment. High levels of social capital between colleagues (horizontal social capital) and between employees and management (vertical social capital) may prevent age discrimination. Methods: We examined the prospective association between social capital at work and perceived age discrimination among 7640 workers aged 50 years or older participating in two wave…
Child maltreatment and substance use
Background Child maltreatment (CM) is a significant public health concern with long-term consequences for the child, including an increased likelihood of engaging in risky health behaviors, such as substance use, as well as impaired quality of life (QoL). The relationship between CM and specific substance use patterns, particularly the use of nicotine products such as Swedish snus, remains understudied. We investigated the relationship between CM…
Prescription high-risk polysubstance use among opioid maintenance treatment patients
OMT patients frequently filled prescriptions for high-risk drugs, and in higher dosages than the general population. However, we found little evidence of 'doctor shopping.' Given that these prescription drugs carry overdose risk, particularly when combined with OMT drugs, our findings emphasize the continued need for education and caution to both prescribers and patients on their concomitant use with OMT
Quality of life whilst ageing in opioid agonist treatment
Patients experience OAT as both lifesaving as well as potentially limiting their life-quality, illustrating the inbuilt dilemmas of OAT. The study suggests an age-informed treatment model and identifies three thematic implications for practice and further research (on memory issues, victimisation and network-building)
Health-related quality of life measures as predictors for recurrent hospitalization and mortality among patients in heroin-assisted treatment
Individuals with opioid use disorder face complex health needs often necessitating hospital-based care, and many reported low health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study assessed HRQoL factors as predictors of recurrent hospital-based care and mortality among heroin-assisted treatment (HAT) patients, identified patient groups with distinct HRQoL trajectories, and compared their hospital contact hours and mortality rates with the general po…
Pills and the damage done
The prescription opioid epidemic has slowly evolved over the past quarter century with increasingly detrimental consequences for public health. Man-made crises are often unforeseen and characterized by a situation without natural causes where – because of human intent, error, negligence, or the failure of manmade systems – the level of needs in the population exceeds available resources to counter the problem. This paper presents the prescription…
The importance of co-produced, multi-method, independent scientific evidence in times of alternative truths and global policy debates
Large variations in all-cause and overdose mortality among >13,000 patients in and out of opioid maintenance treatment in different settings
Background: Opioid maintenance treatment (OMT) has the potential to reduce mortality rates substantially. We aimed to compare all-cause and overdose mortality among OMT patients while in or out of OMT in two different countries with different approaches to OMT. Methods: Two nation-wide, registry-based cohorts were linked by using similar analytical strategies. These included 3,637 male and 1,580 female patients enrolled in OMT in Czechia (years 2…
Can a Healthy Lifestyle Prevent Disability Pension among Female Healthcare Workers with Good and Poor Self-Rated Health? Prospective Cohort Study with 11-Year Register Follow-Up
This underscores the importance of a healthy lifestyle, specially being physically active, for preventing premature exit from the labor market in female healthcare workers
A Covid-19 Survey among People Who Use Drugs in Norway
there was generally a high compliance towards COVID-19 recommendations, but one quarter of the sample was sceptical towards COVID-19 vaccination. This indicates a need for targeted and tailored information and well-designed vaccination roll-out programs to reach all PWUD
Impact of Impulsivity, Hyperactivity, and Inattention on Discontinuation Rate among Opioid-Dependent Patients Treated with Extended-Release Naltrexone
Previous studies have indicated elevated levels of impulsivity, hyperactivity, and inattention (IHI) among opioid-dependent patients seeking outpatient treatment with extended-release naltrexone (XR-NTX). This led us to hypothesize that IHI may be associated with a higher discontinuation rate for XR-NTX treatment. In a group of 162 patients with opioid dependence, discontinuation prior to the full 24 weeks of the study period (six injections and …
Patient Experiences after Physical Trauma
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic generated a crisis within the healthcare system, during which acute, COVID-19-related health needs were prioritized over less urgent needs, including vulnerable subgroups. This study explored experiences of recovery among survivors of physical injuries associated with severe pain during the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway. In-depth interviews were conducted among 13 participants. Findings generated by …
A rapid assessment of take-home naloxone provision during Covid-19 in Europe
Through programme innovation supported by public guidelines, many European THN programmes managed to ensure stable or even increased THN provision during the pandemic, despite social distancing and stay-at-home orders affecting client mobility
The Demand–Control Model as a Predictor of Depressive Symptoms—Interaction and Differential Subscale Effects
Testing assumptions of the widely used demand-control (DC) model in occupational psychosocial epidemiology, we investigated (a) interaction, i.e., whether the combined effect of low job control and high psychological demands on depressive symptoms was stronger than the sum of their single effects (i.e., superadditivity) and (b) whether subscales of psychological demands and job control had similar associations with depressive symptoms. Logistic l…
Development of a Questionnaire for Measuring Employees’ Perception of Selection, Optimisation and Compensation at the Leadership, Group and Individual Levels
This study is the first to develop a questionnaire to measure employees' perceptions of the use of the action strategies selection, optimisation, and compensation (SOC) beyond the individual level, which has so far been lacking in research and practice. The study thus contributes an important tool for research into the role of SOC strategies at the leadership, group, and individual levels for long and healthy working lives. It may also be used by…
Antecedents of Workplace Bullying among Employees in Germany
The study suggests that employees reporting higher demands and lower resources, as well as organisational factors such as restructuring, are at a higher long-term risk of being targets of workplace bullying. Interventions aimed at preventing workplace bullying could benefit from a focus on psychosocial working conditions and organisational factors

From decentralized means-testing to the centralized management of stipends and loans. The administration of student financial aid in Denmark 1950–2000
This study is a historical investigation of the state education grants and loans system in Denmark during the period 1950–2000. Since 1952, Danish students enrolled in higher education programmes have been subsidised under a unified public financial aid scheme, with varying degrees of general coverage. During the first decades of the state support arrangement, the amounts offered were low, and targeted the neediest students on a purely discretion…
Effect of a participatory organizational workplace intervention on workplace social capital
ISRCTN16271504 , retrospectively registered on November 15, 2016
Comorbid symptoms of depression and musculoskeletal pain and risk of long term sickness absence
The risk of LTSA associated with depressive symptoms and musculoskeletal pain appears to be moderated by the presence of comorbid symptoms. The modified risk for LTSA among workers with comorbid symptoms requires further investigation
Retrospectively assessed psychosocial working conditions as predictors of prospectively assessed sickness absence and disability pension among older workers
This exploratory study found that retrospectively assessed high cognitive demands, high and medium emotional demands, low influence at work, low recognition from management, medium role clarity, and high role conflicts predicted LTSA and/or disability pension
Hazardous Drinking Prevalence and Correlates in Older New Zealanders
Objectives: The study compared the proportion of older adults identified as drinking hazardously based on the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test-Consumption (AUDIT-C) with the older adult-specific Comorbidity Alcohol Risk Evaluation Tool (CARET) and investigated whether sociodemographics, comorbidities, health, medication use, and alcohol-related risk behaviors explained discrepancies between the screens in classification of hazardousness.…
Routinized killing of animals
Slaughterhouse workers face the reality of industrialized meat production on a daily basis, experiencing firsthand the routinized killing of animals. This occupation provides a window through which to view one key way in which animals and organizations intersect in modern society. Given its proximity to death and undesirable required tasks, working in a slaughterhouse is classified as ‘dirty work’. Current theorizing, however, does not address ho…
Influence of physical and psychosocial work environment throughout life and physical and cognitive capacity in midlife on labor market attachment among older workers
The project will generate new knowledge on risk factors for loss of labor market attachment. The results will potentially contribute in identifying factors that could be targeted in future interventions for maintaining a longer and healthier working life among older workers

Patterns of Alcohol Consumption among Older Persons in Botswana
The objective of this study was to explore patterns of alcohol consumption of older persons in Botswana and to identify sociodemographic correlates of hazardous drinking. This report is based on cross-sectional data from a sub-sample of a national representative sample of older persons. Twelve rural areas and three urban centers were visited. The sample comprised 372 individuals: 183 females and 189 males, ranging in age from 60 to 109 years. Alm…
Diminished mental- and physical function and lack of social support are associated with shorter survival in community dwelling older persons of Botswana
Older community dwelling persons with diminished cognitive- or physical function, solitary daily meals and living in a small household have a significantly increased risk of rapid deterioration and death. Health policy should include measures to strengthen informal support and expand formal service provisions to older persons with poor function and limited social networks in order to prevent premature deaths
Cross-cultural adaptation of research instruments
BACKGROUND: Research questionnaires are not always translated appropriately before they are used in new temporal, cultural or linguistic settings. The results based on such instruments may therefore not accurately reflect what they are supposed to measure. This paper aims to illustrate the process and required steps involved in the cross-cultural adaptation of a research instrument using the adaptation process of an attitudinal instrument as an e…
Alcohol abstinence and drinking among African women
A variety of drinking patterns are present among African women with lifetime abstention the most common. Countries with hazardous consumption patterns require serious attention to mitigate alcohol-related harm. Some similarities in factors related to alcohol use can be identified between different African countries, although these are limited and highlight the contextual diversity of female drinking in Africa
Influence of lifestyle factors on long-term sickness absence among female healthcare workers
In female healthcare workers, an unhealthy lifestyle (too high/ too low body mass index, smoking, and low physical activity) is associated with higher risk of LTSA
Open drug scenes
Prevention, harm reduction and treatment should be combined with law enforcement based on cooperation between police, health care and social services. The aim should be "coexistence" between society and users of illegal substances and the strategy based on several years planning and conjoint efforts. The solutions are found in appropriate combinations of harm reduction and restrictive measures
Quality of life and social engagement of alcohol abstainers and users among older adults in South Africa
Quality of life and social engagement were not independently associated with drinking pattern among older adults in South Africa in this sample. In order to better understand their alcohol use, further exploratory research is warranted to identify other potentially relevant subjective factors of alcohol use among older adults in South Africa
Execution of control among ‘non-compliant’, imprisoned individuals in opioid maintenance treatment
The monetary reform of 1854 in the Duchy of Schleswig
This article is a survey of the monetary reform of 1854 in the Duchy of Schleswig, then part of the Danish monarchy. The reform can be seen as the third of three major attempts to overcome the economic and political difficulties associated with a heterogeneous and divided monetary system within the Danish state in the period from the end of the eighteenth to the middle of the nineteenth century. Informed by theories of institutional economics and…

Unwanted sexual attention at work and long-term sickness absence
The findings indicate a significantly elevated risk of LTSA, among men only, in relation to exposure to unwanted sexual attention from colleagues, managers and/or subordinates. This study therefore suggests both individual and organizational costs associated with unwanted sexual attention at work. Due to the low prevalence of unwanted sexual attention, larger studies with more statistical power are needed to confirm (or disconfirm) the present fi…
