Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health (SLOSH)
The aim of SLOSH is to provide a basis for the investigation of longitudinal associations between work organisation, work environment, labour force participation, and health and well-being in Sweden. The SLOSH sample consists of all people who answered the Swedish Work Environment Survey between 2003 and 2019. This survey is run by the Swedish Work Environment Authority and Statistics Sweden (SCB) and is carried out every year. In these, randomly selected individuals of working age are asked about employment. At baseline in 2006, 5,985 responses were included, and by 2023, 22,753 responses were included.
