Workplace Injury and Mental Health Outcomes
This cohort study found that the mental health trajectory from the preinjury to postinjury period was worse for individuals with a workplace injury compared with those injured outside the workplace. These findings suggest that there may be features unique to the workplace and/or injury claims and compensation processes that contribute to this pattern, which warrant further examination.
