Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
We anticipate a reduction in the total duration of work absence in the experimental group, as assessed through the difference in means for the time of absence from work between groups, with a moderate effect size (Cohen's d > or = 0,5), ultimately preventing excessive or unecessary absences.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
We do not expect secondary outcomes due to the interventions.
