Minnesota program aims to keep injured workers employed
NCT ID NCT05216016
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a program that provides early support to Minnesota workers who have been injured or become ill, to help them stay at work or return to work sooner. Over 3,400 adults who were employed but at risk of missing work for at least 4 weeks took part. The goal was to see if this approach reduces long-term disability and helps people keep their jobs.
