CASE CONTROL STUDY
This research term explanation first appeared in a regular column called “What researchers mean by” that ran in the Institute for Work & Health’s newsletter At Work for over 10 years (2005-2017). The column covered over 35 common research terms used in the health and social sciences.OFFICE ERGONOMICS

THE IMPACT OF LONG-TERM WORKERS' COMPENSATION BENEFIT BACKGROUND: In 2012, the Australian state of New South Wales passed legislation that reformed its workers' compensation system. Section 39 introduced a five-year limit on income replacement, with the first affected group having their benefits cease in December 2017. OBSERVATIONAL VS. EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES Observational studies observe the effect of an intervention without trying to change who is or isn't exposed to it, while experimental studies introduce an intervention and study its effects. The type of study conducted depends on the question to be answered. Skip to main content SECONDARY NAVIGATION* About us
