Relationship between employment and treatment adherence

The dataset was used for a study on the relationship between work-related factors and adherence to treatment among people with a chronic condition. The dataset was compiled based on multiple questionnaires, as part of the Dutch National Panel of the Chronically ill and Disabled.

The dataset contains self-reported data from 309 individuals with one or more chronic illnesses, who have paid work and use medication. Variables include several background variables (e.g. age, sex, level of education, number of chronic conditions), work-related variables (type of contract, hours of work, level of physical job demands, level of psychological job demands, employment type and limitations at work) and treatment adherence data (adherence to treatment appointments and to medication).
