L’objectif
This study aimed to estimate the risk of opioid-related poisonings and mental and behavioural disorders by occupation and industry within a cohort of 1.7 million formerly injured workers.
Constatations/points à retenir
In total, 13 702 opioid-related poisoning (p) events (n=10 064 workers) and 19 629 opioid-related mental and behavioural (mb) disorder events (n=11 755 workers) were observed. Results provide additional evidence that opioid-related harms cluster among certain occupational groups. Findings can be used to strategically target prevention and harm reduction activities in the workplace.
La conception ou méthodologie de recherche
Workers were identified in the Occupational Disease Surveillance System, a system linking workers’ compensation data (1983–2019) to emergency department and hospitalisation records (2006–2020) in Ontario, Canada.
