Understanding health needs of professional truck drivers to inform health services: a pre-implementation qualitative study in a Canadian Province

A highly demanding work environment and lack of timely access to integrated primary care negatively affect PTDs' health. Results of this study shed light on how to tailor primary care to improve its responsiveness and adequacy to PTDs' needs and realities. PTDs-sensitive integrated services, including multicomponent interventions (health education, coaching for lifestyle changes, and social support), are still lacking within the New Brunswick health system.
