Abstract:
Abstract. Occupational illnesses are inadequately reported for agriculture, an industry dominated by a vulnerable Hispanic population and high fatal and nonfatal injury rates. Work-related illnesses can contribute to missed work, caused by a combination of personal and work factors, with costs to the individual, employer, and society. To better understand agricultural occupational illnesses, 225 Hispanic horse workers were interviewed via community-based convenience sampling. Descriptive statistics, bivariate analyses, and log binomial regression modeling were used to: (1) describe the prevalence of missed work due to work-related illnesses among Hispanic horse workers, (2) examine work-related and personal factors associated with missed work, and (3) identify health symptoms and work-related characteristics potentially associated with missed work. Key findings reveal that having at least one child (PR = 1.71, 95% CI = 1.03, 2.84), having poor self-reported general health (PR = 0.72, 95% CI = 0.48, 1.08), experiencing stress during a typical workday (PR = 2.58, 95% CI = 1.25, 5.32), or spending less time with horses (PR = 1.87, 95% CI = 1.15, 3.05) are significant predictors of missing work. Interventions can be designed to identify workers most susceptible to missing work and provide resources to reduce absenteeism. Future research should examine work-related illness in agricultural horse production, including personal and work-related factors, in order to diminish occupational health disparities among these workers, who are more likely to be employed in hazardous agricultural work. Keywords: Agriculture, Health disparities, Horse workers, Missed work, Occupational illness, Worker absenteeism.

Abstract:
This cross-sectional study examines the relationship between poor employee well-being (PEWB) and work-related mental ill-health and substance consumption (MIH). It is proposed as a unification model that links both work-related negative consequences on the basis of the experiences of threat, loss, and frustration at work. PEWB contains the following elements: emotional discomfort, bodily uneasiness, organizational distance, task impairment, and dragging workday; and MIH includes work-related anxiety, depression, irritability, cigarette smoking, alcohol and drug consumption, and physical illness. Six hundred ninety-seven participants, working in a wide range of jobs and occupations, completed the survey. Results indicated that PEWB and MIH are significantly associated, after controlling for demographic and personal factors. Sense sharing between PEWB-MIH and PEWB element combination explained the relationships between both constructs. These findings could be helpful for organizations interested in preserving and improving worker mental health.

Abstract:
En bidragande orsak till den stora sjuksköterskebristen idag är den bristande arbetsmiljön. Detta påverkar omvårdnaden negativt och riskerar sjuksköterskors hälsa. Det är arbetsgivarens skyldighet att se till att sjuksköterskor inte riskerar att drabbas utav ohälsa, trots detta tillhör sjuksköterskeyrket de yrke som haft flest antal sjukskrivningar. Syftet med studien var att undersöka sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av arbetsrelaterad ohälsa. Studien gjordes som en litteraturstudie med systematiska sökningar. Databearbetningen resulterade i tre kategorier vilka belyser Arbetsbelastning som bidragande orsak till ohälsa, Stress som bidragande orsak till ohälsa samt Organisation & Hälso- och sjukvårdssystemet som bidragande orsak till ohälsa. Resultatet visar att det främst är organisationen, Hälso- och sjukvårdssystemet och arbetsmiljön som sätter hinder för sjuksköterskor att kunna tillämpa en god, evidensbaserad och patientsäker vård. Detta medför att sjuksköterskor känner sig otillräckliga, otillfredsställda och drabbas av somatiska besvär som sömnsvårigheter och ångest som ett resultat av stress. Genom att erhålla förståelse och kunskap till vad som bidrar till arbetsrelaterad ohälsa skulle åtgärder kunna vidtas för att främja sjuksköterskors hälsa vilket även gynnar patientomvårdnaden. Vidare forskning kring förändringsbara faktorer i verksamheten som inte är lika hårt kontrollerade av organisationen skulle kunna underlätta för sjuksköterskor och därmed bidra till utveckling inom professionen
A contributing factor to the large nursing shortage today is deficiencies in the nurses’ work environment. This affects both nursing care and risks nurses’ health. The employer has the obligation to ensure that nurses’ do not suffer from ill-health. Despite this, nurses’ belongs to a profession that had the most number of sick leaves. The aim of the study was to investigate the nurses’ experience of work related illhealth. The study was done as a literature review with a systematic search. The data processing result in three categories which highlights Workload as a contributing factor to illness, Stress as a contributing factor to illness and Organization and the Healthcare system as a contributing factor to illness. The result shows that work environment, organization and the healthcare system puts obstacle for nurses’ to be able to apply a good, evidence and safety patient care. This entails that nurses’ feel insufficient, dissatisfied and suffer from somatic symptoms such as insomnia and anxiety as a result of stress. By obtaining an understanding and knowledge of what contributes to work related ill-health provision could be made to promote nurses’ health which also benefits the patient care. Further research on modifiable factors in the workplace that are not strictly controlled by the organization could facilitate for nurses’ and thereby contribute to development in the nurse profession.

Abstract:
This study explored employees' perceptions of organisational change as a stressor within a public sector work place undergoing significant change. A number of major stress-producing factors in that environment were examined and data collected of employees' perceptions of the nature of stress, changes in health status and data gathered of stress-related compensation claims. Data was also collected of employees' perceptions of effective strategies for coping with change from an individual and organisational perspective. The research design was a case study with embedded units of analysis incorporating elements of quantitative analysis. The method was chosen to flesh out the limited choices offered by many standard questionnaires. A case study approach and various categories of stress-related factors were selected measures to evaluate the perceived effects of work place change on stress levels. The eight females and three males, aged 27�50 were each interviewed for an hour for their perceptions of stress and reports of stress related illness, relationship changes and other reported changes�diet, sleep, heart disease, asthma, anxiety and headaches. Workplace changes to the Division were analysed, Departmental claims officers were interviewed and Comcare data analysed. Results show participants appeared to feel or experience "stress" in a way which they distinguished as different from feelings or experiences which were nonstressful states and they appeared able to separate these states and ascribe to each particular qualities. They also seemed able to identify that the stressful state occurred in response to some form of demands. Some subjects (36%) reported developing strategies for managing their stress. The majority of subjects (82%) believed work place change was inevitable and a number of subjects (45%) reported they believed implementation of change to be poorly managed, while some subjects (36%) perceived change impacting negatively on the work place. On the basis of the results, it would appear that a human resource management framework may enable more successful implementation of change in public sector organisations.

Abstract:
The Department of Correctional Services is the South African Government Department that is responsible for the smooth running of the South African correctional system. Correctional facilities have to be staffed twenty four hours a day and therefore correctional officials have to work fixed or rotating shifts to ensure that the needs of offenders are taken care of. The number of staff members in many South African correctional centres is not sufficient to ensure proper care and management of offenders, but staff shortages during the night is even more chronic compared to staff shortages experienced during the day. It is vital that correctional officials be alert and vigilant at all times and therefore these staff shortages contribute to high levels of stress, lack of motivation and feelings of being overwhelmed by the work load. Shift work is a phenomenon that is increasing worldwide. It is important to understand the impact of work schedules as more people seem to be working shifts that do not conform to the standard work week. Shift workers seem very healthy when their illnesses are compared to that of the general public. Many health problems have been detected in shift workers, including stress related conditions, as any work schedule can act as a stressor if the needs of the individual worker are not taken into consideration. Sleeping patterns during the day differ from sleeping patterns at night. Shift work disrupts a person’s circadian rhythms and therefore contributes to poorer physical and psychological health. It further causes poorer productivity and increases the possibility of becoming involved in accidents. Working night duty is very stressful to the night shift worker who has to cope with challenges at work and at home. There is a variety of common stressors at work that affect shift workers physiologically (cardiovascular, stroke, digestive problems, back pain and arthritis, headaches, increased blood pressure and hormonal), psychologically (burnout, depression, anxiety, family problems, sleep problems and job dissatisfaction) and behaviouraly (absence, tardiness, substance abuse, accidents, sabotage / violence, poor decision making, poor job performance and a high personnel turnover). This study focused on understanding the positive and negative impact of working permanent night duty on correctional officials. The findings of this study will be helpful to correctional officials who work permanent night duty in addressing employee workplace support.

Abstract:
Socialsekreterare är en yrkesgrupp inom vilken det förekommer ett stort antal sjukskrivningar på grund av stressrelaterad psykisk ohälsa. Det framkommer att arbetsmiljön samt ledarskapet har en stor påverkan på de anställdas psykiska hälsa. Syftet med studien var att genom en kvalitativ metod undersöka hur enhetschefer inom socialtjänsten arbetar för att förebygga stressrelaterad psykisk ohälsa bland sina anställda. Vidare undersöktes också huruvida ett rumsligt nära ledarskap har någon påverkan på det förebyggande arbetet. Intervjuer genomfördes med fyra enhetschefer anställda inom socialtjänsten. Som hjälp vid intervjuerna användes en halvstrukturerad intervjuguide med öppna frågor. Analysen utgick från innehållsanalys samt krav, kontroll och stödmodellen. I resultatet framkom att ett rumsligt nära ledarskap är av stor vikt för enhetschefer när det gäller det förebyggande arbetet. Närhet gör att enhetschefer lättare kan följa med i det dagliga arbete, se när arbetsbelastningen på de anställda ökar samt se hur de anställda mår. Det framkommer också att stöd från chef och kollegor är viktigt för att förebygga stress, då man som anställd behöver känna att man inte står ensam med arbetet. Tydlighet i socialsekreterarens yrkesroll framgår också som en viktig faktor, vilket kan påverkas av god introduktion samt mentorskap vid nyanställning. Handledning, regelbundna teammöten, samtal samt mätning och reglering av arbetsbelastning framkommer också som viktiga rutiner i det förebyggande arbetet.
Social workers are a professional group where there are a large number of sick leaves related to stress-related mental illness. It appears that the working environment and leadership have a great impact on the employees´mental health. The aim of the study was to find out through a qualitative method how unit managers within the social services work to prevent stress-related mental illness among their employees. Furthermore, we also looked into whether a spatially close leadership has any impact on the preventive work. Interviews were made with four unit managers within the social services. At the interviews a semi-structured interview guide with open questions was used as a guideline. The analysis was based on content analysis and the demand, control and support model. As a result of the analysis we came to the conclusion that a spatially close leadership is of a great importance to the unit managers regarding the preventive work. To be near the employees makes it easier for the unit managers to follow the daily work, to discover when the employees´ workload increases and to see the well-being of the employees. It also appears that support from the unit manager and the colleagues is important in order to prevent stress, as employees need to feel that they don´t stand alone in their work. Clarity in the professional role also appears as an important factor, which can be influenced by a proper introduction as well as mentoring for newly employed. Guidance, regular team-meetings, conversations as well as measurement and regulation of the workload also appear to be important routines in the preventive work.

Abstract:
Stressrelaterad psykisk ohälsa ökar mest och står för den längsta varaktigheten bland sjukskrivningarna. Förändringar i sjukförsäkringssystemet och beslut om att minska sjuktalen har gett konsekvenser som ökat antal avslag om sjukpenning. Syftet med studien var att undersöka erfarenheter av avslag om sjukpenning från Försäkringskassan hos personer med stressrelaterad psykisk ohälsa för att beskriva och förstå vad det får för betydelse för deras sjukdomsbild och återhämtning. Studien är kvalitativ och har genomförts genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem personer som drabbats av stressrelaterad psykisk ohälsa och fått avslag om sjukpenning från Försäkringskassan. Materialet som samlats genom intervjuerna har analyserats med Ulrich Becks teorin om risksamhället och Randall Collins teori om symboliska interaktionskedjor samt tidigare forskning. Resultatet i studien indikerar att avslag om sjukpenning påverkar sjukdomsbilden och möjligheten till återhämtning negativt för personer som drabbats av stressrelaterad psykisk ohälsa. Respondenterna upplevde att avslaget förlängt sjukdomstiden, genom minskad möjlighet till återhämtning och förvärrad sjukdomsbild. Resultatet visar även på en samlad bild av upplevelsen av avslaget om sjukpenning från Försäkringskassan. Personerna upplever inte att handläggare på Försäkringskassan tror dem och därmed känner de sig kränkta.
Stress-related disorders have increased and accounts for the longest duration of sick leave. Changes in the health insurance system and decisions to reduce the sick-leave have had consequences such as an increased number of rejection of sickness benefits. The aim of this study was to investigate the experience for people having a stress-related disorder and being rejected sickness benefits from the Social Insurance Fund, to describe and understand the importance for their disease image and recovery. The study is qualitative and has been conducted through semistructured interviews with five participants who suffered from stress-related disorders and received a refusal of sickness benefits from the Social Insurance Fund. The material gathered through the interviews has been analyzed with Ulrich Beck’s theory of risk society and Randall Collin’s theory of symbolic interaction-chains and previous research. The result of this study indicates that the refusal of sickness benefits affects the recovery rate negatively for the participants in the study. The participants felt that the refusal extended the disease time, and they experienced reduced opportunities to recover and a worse diseases image. The result also shows a consistent picture of the experience of receiving a refusal of sickness benefits from the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. The participants do not feel that the case officers at the Social Security Fund believe them and thus they feel offended.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Det finns få studier gjorda av vilka åtgärder en arbetsplats bör genomföra för att få en effektiv och hållbar återgång till arbetet, för personer med stressrelaterad ohälsa. Syfte: Syftet med studien var därför att beskriva hur personer som tidigare varit sjukskrivna för stressrelaterad ohälsa, upplevde stöd från arbetsplatsen vid återgång i arbetet. Metod: Deltagarna bestod av sex personer som varit sjukskrivna under olika tidsperioder de senaste fem åren. Datainsamlingen skedde genom enskilda intervjuer med öppna frågor som gav tolkningsutrymme för deltagarna. Intervjutexterna analyserades därefter enligt en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Analysen mynnade ut i två huvudkategorier: ”Anpassningar av arbetssituationen främjar arbetsåtergången” och ” Den sociala miljön påverkar arbetsåtergången”. Dessa innehöll vardera tre underkategorier. Slutsats: Slutsatsen av studien är att stödet från arbetsplatsen behöver ges efter individens kapacitet i förhållande till arbetsmiljön, såväl som i arbetsuppgifternas krav.

Abstract:
För att trivas på en arbetsplats där påfrestande händelser präglar vardagen, måste det finnas vissa delar som gör att personalen stannar kvar och trivs med sitt arbete. Som ambulanssjuksköterska kan man dagligen utsättas för påfrestande händelser som kan påverka den enskilde och vårdandet. Vilka är då de positiva aspekterna och hur beskrivs de positiva delarna av att arbeta inom ambulanssjukvård?Syftet med denna studie var att belysa positiva upplevelser i ambulanssjuksköterskors arbete.En kvalitativ intervjustudie utfördes på tre olika ambulansstationer i Södra Sverige. Åtta informanter deltog, samtliga ambulanssjuksköterskor.Resultatet visar olika teman som belyser de positiva aspekterna med arbetet som ambulanssjuksköterska. Samhörighet, tillfredsställelse, ständig utveckling, variation, utmaning och frihetskänsla upplevdes som viktiga faktorer som upplevdes som positiva delar, gentemot bakgrunden med de negativa skildringarna.I diskussionen förs av författarna resonemang kring studiens genomförande samt de positiva upplevelserna av arbetet inom ambulanssjukvård. Slutsatsen är att de positiva upplevelserna har stor betydelse för personalens arbetstrivsel. Det är viktigt att ha kännedom om glädjeämnena inom yrket för att främja en god arbetsmiljö och hålla sig motiverad i sitt yrkesutförande. Har man inte kunskap om vad som är positivt med arbetet kan detta påverka vårdandets kvalitet i negativ riktning

AbstractIn a typical Nigerian village, the majority of the population comprises old people who are mostly economically unproductive due to reduced or loss of physical strength brought about by ageing and ill health. Many of these rural old people still work, and do so outside the formal sector, and are particularly susceptible to the effects of climate variability and change. Few studies have reported on climate change and the rural aged and there is a research gap as regards rural elderly peoples’ perception of climate variability impact on them. Since little is known about their perception of climate variability impacts and implications on the rural aged especially in relation to their livelihood activities in Sub-Saharan Africa, this chapter therefore examined the impact of climate variability on the livelihood security of the rural aged in different ecological zones of Nigeria.Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used for data collection. Qualitative data were obtained through interviews with four aged and four aged women selected purposively in each rural community and analyzed using Content Analysis Method. Quantitative data were obtained through structured questionnaire administered to an aged male and an aged female population available in selected houses (the aged are people 60 years and over in age) in selected rural communities in selected ecological zones of Nigeria. Where there was no combination of the two (aged men and aged women), either of the two was also sufficient.It was discovered that the ageds’ experiences of climate variability impact relate to the prevailing climate variability characteristic of each ecological zones. The impact on their livelihood in these zones is seen in terms of livestock death, lack of pastures for herds, scarcity of water, pest invasion, delayed planting crop failure, need for irrigation, water logging, drowning of small animals, human and animal illness. This means that planning decisions related to climate change issues should take cognizance of the views of the aged populations especially of those residing in rural areas as they are the most affected by the impact.

Abstract:
Why is there so little research on illness narratives in the workplace albeit the significant role of labour in society, the considerable increase of illnesses at work and high rates of sick-leave and early retirement? The importance of reconstructing illness narratives in the workplace for prevention, timely support, coping and staying at work is emphasized. It will further be shown how illness narratives are embedded in narrations on working conditions and return to work experiences. The mixed-method study focused on return to work trajectories of participants of vocational retraining. On this basis, this chapter discusses strategies of successful and failed arrangements in the workplace.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the “epidemic” of disability in post-Soviet Ukraine, and more specifically how state laws on the social protection of Chernobyl sufferers have turned suffering and disability into a resource affecting family, work, and social identity. It shows how the line between sickness and health becomes a highly politicized one as traditional forms of Soviet social organization, particularly the labor collective, are being replaced by a new architecture of welfare claims, privileges, laws, and identities. It also discusses the role of the Exclusion Zone in an informal Soviet economy and capitalist transition, as well as the ways in which workers micromanage inflation with a sick role sociality in their everyday lives. Finally, it considers the establishment of medical-labor committees to handle the growing number of disability claims related to the Chernobyl explosion and highlights a city of sufferers where so many individuals have gained their illnesses for life.

Abstract:
Background: Adapting tasks, work stations, tools and equipment to fit the worker can help reduce physical stress on a worker’s body and eliminate many potentially serious, disabling work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). Recognizing ergonomic risk factors in the workplace is an essential first step in correcting hazards and improving worker protection. This study aimed to investigate the occupational illness due to ergonomic factors in textile industry workers. Subjects and Method: This was systematic review. Articles were collected from Pubmed, Science Direct, Garuda, and Google Scholar databases, and grey literature. All studies that reported prevalence of MSDs and ergonomic risk factors in the textile industry were collected for this study. 45 studies were identified and 17 studies reported that occupational illness was associated with ergonomic posture factors. Results: Prevalence of MSDs in the textile industry workers was 46.43-81.0%. High cases were occurred in neck, shoulder, upper extremity, and upper and lower back. MSD was highly experienced by male, aged >35 years, and tenure 6-10 years. Work attitude (61.63%) and work station (30.67%) were expected to cause MSDs. Nordic Body Map (NBM) is used to measure MSDs complaints. Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) is often used to measure work attitude. Conclusion: Textile industry workers are at high risk to experience musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract:
There is growing interest in using cannabis or specific cannabinoids (e.g., THC, CBD) as therapeutic agents for various stress-related psychiatric disorders (e.g., PTSD, anxiety). While beliefs about a drug, such as expecting to feel a certain way, have strong influences over the actual effects experienced by individuals, they are rarely evaluated in clinical research. In the present exploratory report, we sought to (1) evaluate the extent to which individuals believe that cannabis relieves stress, and (2) examine whether individual characteristics (i.e., age, sex, psychiatric illness, cannabis use frequency) are related to these beliefs. A sample of 234 adults (54.7% female; Mean age=31.37, SD=11.03, 19-69 years old) from the Halifax Regional Municipality community took part in a brief telephone screening interview to assess their eligibility for a larger study (in progress). Information was gathered about the frequency of current (i.e., past month) cannabis use (days per week), the presence of current psychiatric disorder(s) ("yes"/"no"), and the extent to which they believed that cannabis was an effective stress reliever (rating scale from 1 (“not at all”) to 10 (“extremely”)). Subjects reported a mean belief rating of 6.39 (SD=2.26). A multiple regression analysis was run to evaluate whether the belief that cannabis relieves stress was related to age, sex, psychiatric illness, and frequency of current cannabis use. Overall, the model significantly predicted cannabis belief ratings (p<.001, adjusted R2=.17). Among all variables, only frequency of cannabis use contributed significantly to this prediction (B=.544, 95% CI: [.387, .701], p<.001). In general, the present sample of community-recruited adults believed that cannabis was somewhat effective at relieving stress. Additionally, cannabis use frequency was the only variable that predicted the strength of this belief, such that more frequent use was associated with higher belief ratings. This is consistent with prior research indicating that heavier cannabis use is linked to positive cannabis expectancies. Given that stimulus expectancies influence substance-related responses, such findings would further the case for evaluating and controlling for these expectancies in clinical work with cannabis for stress-related conditions. Indeed, clinical cannabis research evaluating samples of heavy or frequent cannabis users may be subject to bias due to higher positive expectancies.

Abstract:
Introduction: Identifying factors that contribute to occupational accidents has been a general concern of companies in the present millennium. One of the factors identified is the quality and quantity of food, as well as meals times. In this context, the present systematic review aimed to identify how food intake influences the occurrence of accidents in shift work, with some focus, although not exclusive, on the mining industry. Methodology: The research-based literature was carried out in four electronic databases: Medline/PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus and Web of Science. Have been combined the following words “occupational accident” and “food intake”; “mining injury” and “food choice”; “meal timing” and “workplace”; “eating at night” and “mining injury”;“Circadian rhythm” and “diet shift”; “Food safety” and “ Health risk”; “workplace accidents” and “food choice”. Results: It was possible to identify 24 articles related to food intake. To better understand the analysis, the results were organized into five groups: Author surname and year, Study type, Accidents/injury causes, risk factor, Conditions for accidents/injuries to occur. Through the groups of causes, it was possible to regrouped on three, which facilitated the discussion of the topic; food choice n=10 (42%) articles, eating habits n=9 (37.5%), and emotional commitment n=5 (20.5%), showed the relativity of food intake causes for the occurrence of accidents and illnesses in shift workers. Discussion: The reviewed articles demonstrated that the materialisation of accidents was due to the relationship between food intake and consumption of nutrient-poor foods in shift work. That can develop chronic diseases, metabolic disorders such as blood pressure abnormalities, blood sugar fluctuation (dyslipidemia, dysglycemia), and obesity, neurobehavioural performance. Foods contain high content As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Fe, and Mn above the recommended standards by the FAO/WHO. Sleep disturbance during the 12-hour shift interferes with circadian rhythm and, consequently,with performance. These factors can be related to food and the precarious physical environment, increased workload, fatigue and poor diet, especially at night. Conclusion: In conclusion, the study demonstrated how food intake impacted workers' health on shifts but did not determine the causes or risk factors contributing to accidents/injuries. Further studies are needed to demonstrate a direct relationship which the risk factor of food intake and causes accidents/injuries.

Abstract:
Outdoor workers face severe risks from extreme heat—risks that will increasingly threaten the health and livelihood of tens of millions of outdoor workers in the United States as climate change makes dangerously hot days more frequent and intense. With economic and legal systems that routinely discount their lives and safety, workers who experience heat-related injuries or illnesses on the job have little to no recourse. By midcentury, with no action to reduce global warming emissions, an estimated $37.1 billion in outdoor workers’ earnings would be at risk annually due to extreme heat. Even with bold action to limit emissions, outdoor workers will face severe and rising risks from extreme heat. Policymakers and employers must take actions to protect outdoor workers.

Abstract:
In February 2020 the FSA published two reports which produced new estimates of foodborne norovirus cases. These were the ‘Norovirus Attribution Study’ (NoVAS study) (O’Brien et al., 2020) and the accompanying internal FSA technical review ‘Technical Report: Review of Quantitative Risk Assessment of foodborne norovirus transmission’ (NoVAS model review), (Food Standards Agency, 2020). The NoVAS study produced a Quantitative Microbiological Risk Assessment model (QMRA) to estimate foodborne norovirus. The NoVAS model review considered the impact of using alternative assumptions and other data sources on these estimates. From these two pieces of work, a revised estimate of foodborne norovirus was produced. The FSA has therefore updated its estimates of annual foodborne disease to include these new results and also to take account of more recent data related to other pathogens. The estimates produced include: •Estimates of GP presentations and hospital admissions for foodbornenorovirus based on the new estimates of cases. The NoVAS study onlyproduced estimates for cases. •Estimates of foodborne cases, GP presentations and hospital admissions for12 other pathogens •Estimates of unattributed cases of foodborne disease •Estimates of total foodborne disease from all pathogens Previous estimates An FSA funded research project ‘The second study of infectious intestinal disease in the community’, published in 2012 and referred to as the IID2 study (Tam et al., 2012), estimated that there were 17 million cases of infectious intestinal disease (IID) in 2009. These include illness caused by all sources, not just food. Of these 17 million cases, around 40% (around 7 million) could be attributed to 13 known pathogens. These pathogens included norovirus. The remaining 60% of cases (equivalent to 10 million cases) were unattributed cases. These are cases where the causal pathogen is unknown. Reasons for this include the causal pathogen was not tested for, the test was not sensitive enough to detect the causal pathogen or the pathogen is unknown to science. A second project ‘Costed extension to the second study of infectious intestinal disease in the community’, published in 2014 and known as IID2 extension (Tam, Larose and O’Brien, 2014), estimated that there were 566,000 cases of foodborne disease per year caused by the same 13 known pathogens. Although a proportion of the unattributed cases would also be due to food, no estimate was provided for this in the IID2 extension. New estimates We estimate that there were 2.4 million cases of foodborne disease in the UK in 2018 (95% credible intervals 1.8 million to 3.1 million), with 222,000 GP presentations (95% Cred. Int. 150,000 to 322,000) and 16,400 hospital admissions (95% Cred. Int. 11,200 to 26,000). Of the estimated 2.4 million cases, 0.9 million (95% Cred. Int. 0.7 million to 1.2 million) were from the 13 known pathogens included in the IID2 extension and 1.4 million1 (95% Cred. Int. 1.0 million to 2.0 million) for unattributed cases. Norovirus was the pathogen with the largest estimate with 383,000 cases a year. However, this estimate is within the 95% credible interval for Campylobacter of 127,000 to 571,000. The pathogen with the next highest number of cases was Clostridium perfringens with 85,000 (95% Cred. Int. 32,000 to 225,000). While the methodology used in the NoVAS study does not lend itself to producing credible intervals for cases of norovirus, this does not mean that there is no uncertainty in these estimates. There were a number of parameters used in the NoVAS study which, while based on the best science currently available, were acknowledged to have uncertain values. Sensitivity analysis undertaken as part of the study showed that changes to the values of these parameters could make big differences to the overall estimates. Campylobacter was estimated to have the most GP presentations with 43,000 (95% Cred. Int. 19,000 to 76,000) followed by norovirus with 17,000 (95% Cred. Int. 11,000 to 26,000) and Clostridium perfringens with 13,000 (95% Cred. Int. 6,000 to 29,000). For hospital admissions Campylobacter was estimated to have 3,500 (95% Cred. Int. 1,400 to 7,600), followed by norovirus 2,200 (95% Cred. Int. 1,500 to 3,100) and Salmonella with 2,100 admissions (95% Cred. Int. 400 to 9,900). As many of these credible intervals overlap, any ranking needs to be undertaken with caution. While the estimates provided in this report are for 2018 the methodology described can be applied to future years.
