January 2020: A new paper by PWHS MSc graduate Kelvin Choi and postdoctoral fellow Esther Maas examines time to return-to-work (RTW) among health care and social workers from violence-related incidents compared with non-violence-related incidents in BC.
Published in Occupational & Environmental Medicine, the study found that workers with psychological injuries, and those in counselling and social work occupations and in long-term care and residential social services, took longer to RTW following a violence-related incident than workers with non-violence-related incidents.
