Labor participation among patients with inflammatory bowel disease
Inflammatory Bowel Disease, 04/26/2012

Besides sociodemographic and illness characteristics, the perception of personal control over the illness explains differences in the number of hours worked. Strengthening IBD patients' control perceptions deserves attention.
