Total mortality from 1981 to 2009 among individuals with complete data on job strain in midlife, categorised according to job demand and job control: high job strain (high job demands and low job control), active job (high job demand and high job control), passive job (low job demand and low job control) and low job strain (low job demand and high job control).
He said Job Active had "only a few members who have particular expertise in refugee services" and NSW would take a different approach by partnering with business.
He said job support services were "the weakest part of the services that are provided at the moment" to refugees and the state's program would complement the commonwealth job scheme, Job Active.
These consisted of self reported stress without severe mental disorders, no drug or alcohol abuse, and being job active.
Second, to compute the job strain both psychological demands and job control were dichotomized at the median value into high and low groups, leading to four job categories: low-strain, passive job, active job, and high-strain job [ 19].
When job strain was defined as passive job, active job, or high strain compared with low strain, only a high-strain job was associated with T2D in the crude model.
When job strain in our study was defined in four groups, as low strain, passive job, active job, or high strain, the influence of a high-strain job (high demands and low decision latitude) in women was attenuated.
First the demand and control scales, weighted according to Karasek's [ 43] instructions, were dichotomized at the median, and the dimensions combined in four categories: "High job strain", "Passive job", "Active job", and "Low job strain".
All findings were similar in the analyses with the job strain model quadrants (passive job, active job and high strain compared with low strain) as the exposure as well as in sensitivity analyses with all asthma cases excluded.
We then classified the participants as low job strain (low demands and high job control), active job (high demands and high job control), passive job (low demands and low job control), and high job strain (high demands and low job control).
