Information and feedback to improve occupational physicians’ reporting of occupational diseases: a randomised controlled trial
International Archives of Occupational & Environmental Health, 10/21/09
Lenderink AF et al. – This study supports the concept that contemplators are more susceptible to receiving information but could not confirm an effect of stage–matching this information on reporting occupational diseases to the national registry.

| World wide there is considerable under-reporting of occupational diseases. In the Netherlands Occupational Physicians (OPs) are obliged to report every work-related disease, but not everyone does that. Sending reminders and self-efficacy enhancing information to OPs will influence the reporting of at least those OPs that already have the intention to report. If OPs already report occupational diseases it seems like a good idea to keep in close contact with them and reward their notifications by sending them a relevant scientific article on the disease they reported. |
