Since 2006, SLOSH has conducted regular surveys among a sample of the Swedish population. The survey covers topics including working conditions, work-life balance, retirement, well-being and health behaviours.
This year, more than 52,000 people were invited to take part in the survey, and participation was higher than last year. The SLOSH team has now begun compiling and quality-checking the responses. The new data are expected to be available to researchers early next year.

The Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health (SLOSH)
SLOSH is an internationally leading panel study that elucidates how various aspects of people's working lives, private lives and health interact over time. Research based on SLOSH contribute to increased knowledge that may serve as an important basis for efforts to improve public health.
SLOSH is located at the Stress Research Institute, a part of the Department of Psychology, Stockholm University. Project leader for SLOSH is Hugo Westerlund, professor of epidemiology.
