Worker outcomes after attending WSIB specialty clinics

The goals of this project are:

  • to look at the usual course of work-related outcomes (abstenteeism and at-work productivity losses) in 600 workers recruited from two upper extremity speciality clinics in Toronto and London
  • to understand factors that can or cannot be modified that predict a worker's likely course.
