    Abstract In this era of evidence-based medicine, the randomized controlled trial (RCT) has become the gold standard in determining whether a new intervention has beneficial effects. Although in recent years the RCT has given way to more flexible approaches, the strong reliance on this type of decisive study design in evidence production has had unintended consequences (1). An example in occupational health research would be that an RCT examining a health promotion app is more feasible than one assessing a workplace intervention, hence, there is disproportionately more robust evidence on individual-oriented behavioral interventions than organizational-level ones. Likewise, it would easier to evaluate a training program than an organizational intervention targeting work schedules. Indeed, a recent review on workplace mental health interventions concluded that interventions tended to focus on individual-level rather than organizational or system-level factors (2). The recent guidelines on mental health from the World Health Organization also illustrate that recommendations for individual interventions are more common than recommendations for organizational interventions (3). In the current debate about prevention, there is a strong plea for a shift in content and mode of delivery of prevention, specifically targeting the environments in which disadvantaged groups live and work (4). While targeting these environments, the traditional RCT paradigm cannot be used as an evaluation strategy for dynamic interventions with multiple interrelated changes in behavior and environments over time (5, 6). In occupational health we face the same challenge: with mental health as a premier concern in the workforce, we need to shift our attention from individual behaviors towards the psychosocial work environment, and our research methods should change accordingly to be able to demonstrate how we can improve it.There is compelling evidence that psychosocial work factors may introduce health effects (7). A recent meta-review of 72 reviews ...

    Abstract Objective: This paper discusses the failure and success of society to decrease the adverse health effects of asbestos exposure on workers' health in relation to scientific knowledge.
    Methods: The findings are based on a narrative literature review.
    Results: Early warnings of the adverse health effects of workplace exposure to asbestos were published already in the 1930s. Serious health effects, such as malignancies and fibrosis due to occupational asbestos exposure, were highlighted in major medical journals and textbooks in late 1960s. New technologies could detect also asbestos fibers in the lung of non-occupational exposed persons in the 1970s. The first bans for using asbestos came in the early 1970s, and more general bans by authorities came in the 1980s and continue until today.
    Conclusions: The rather late recognition of adverse effects of asbestos exposure in the general population and measures to decrease the exposure through more general bans came rather late. However, the very strong measures such as general bans in many countries have been a success. A Swedish study showed that the general ban and other measures have decreased the risk of malignancies due to occupational exposure. The effect of the bans on adverse effects in the general population has yet to be studied. Analysis of fibers in the lungs of persons born after the bans could be an efficient method.

    Abstract Background: Health status, type of contract, education and age might affect labour force participation (LFP). We investigated possible factors associated with LFP among European countries.
    Methods: European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) data of 149,798 individuals were used and the odds ratios were calculated in logistic regression analyses.
    Results: LFP rates were higher among those in good health. Self-perceived poor health frequencies were higher in people with temporary contracts than in those with permanent contracts in Bulgaria, Finland, and Hungary, while they were lower in Republic of Serbia. Multivariate analyses revealed that having temporary contract, poor health, oldest age group, and lower educational level were associated with lower probability of being in paid employment in the total study population. Poor health was stronger driver of lower LFP than temporary contracts in Austria, Hungary, Iceland, Netherlands. Temporary contracts were stronger driver of lower LFP than poor health in Greece, Spain, Finland, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia and total study population.
    Conclusion: Both poor health and temporary contracts were associated with lower LFP. The magnitude of these associations varied among countries. Worker's health status differed by type of contract in Bulgaria, Hungary, Finland and Serbia.

    Abstract Objective: The Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health was launched 50 years ago. In this paper we describe how research topics have changed over time.
    Methods: A complete list of all 2899 articles in the past 50 years was compiled. Each article was coded for type of exposure, type of health outcome, research design, first author, and country of correspondence address. Count of citations was based on the Scopus database.
    Results: Overall, the attention for chemical exposure in the first 30 years has shifted towards the psychosocial work environment, shift work, and physical work load. These shifts in exposure are mirrored by increased attention over time for mental disorders and musculoskeletal disorders. Cardiovascular disorders and cancer have been studied consistently over the past 50 years. Researchers from Scandinavian countries have been responsible for about 50% of the Journal's content, while authorship has broadened to about 30 countries in recent years.
    Conclusion: During the past 50 years, some research topics have consistently remained highly visible in the Journal, whereas other topics have gained or lost interest. In terms of authors' contribution, the Journal has its roots in research from the Nordic countries, but has evolved over time as a truly international periodical with a well-recognized position in research on occupational health.

    Abstract In the past three years, we have witnessed the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, with unprecedented challenges to all aspects of human life worldwide. In the workforce, it rapidly became clear that workers in some jobs were more likely to suffer adverse consequences for morbidity and mortality. In our earlier editorials in the Scandinavian Journal of Work Environment and Health, we reviewed emerging evidence, suggesting that well-established socio-economic health inequalities intermingled with occupational risk factors, making it difficult to target the conditions at work that contributed to the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in working populations (1, 2). As a first priority for the research agenda on COVID-19, we suggested the identification of occupations at higher risk for becoming infected and specific work characteristics that contribute to the risks. Such insights will be immensely valuable for preparedness to threats of future pandemics (2).Many researchers have addressed this pertinent question with gusto in different populations with different study approaches. In an illustrative example with a population-based approach, Nafilyan and colleagues (3) constructed a register-based cohort study of all 14 million people aged 40–64 years in England for confirmed or suspected COVID-19 death in 2020 across 41 occupational categories. Occupations with the highest age-standardised mortality rates (5–6-fold) were those working as taxi and cab drivers or chauffeurs, workers in elementary occupations, and care workers and home carers. Adjustment for sociodemographic factors attenuated the elevated mortality rates, and further adjustment for living conditions resulted in a residual variance of 20–30% as the best estimate of the maximum contribution of workplace exposure to COVID-19 mortality (3). A comparable registered-based study in Sweden among 4.6 million citizens with an occupation confirmed the highest mortality risk among taxi and bus drivers (4-fold risk), and also pointed towards elevated risk among ...
