Invitation to Participate in Insurance Medicine Priority Setting Survey

We are reaching out to ask for your support in an important effort to strengthen the evidence base in social and insurance medicine. We are conducting a survey to identify the most urgent topics for systematic reviews and priority research across countries.

The survey will take around 30 minutes to complete and is organized into nine themes: sick leave, work disability assessment, return to work, participation, causality, policy, collaboration, specific populations, and methodology and should be filled in by stakeholders, including insurance physicians, team leads, return-to-work professionals, researchers, or policy makers.

We ask for your help to complete the survey (http://www.surveymonkey.com/r/prioritize-RD) and forward this invitation to your colleagues, including insurance physicians, team leads, return-to-work professionals, researchers, or policy makers.

Your insights are essential to ensure the results reflect real-world needs across the field.

What is in for you? Survey results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and on the Cochrane Insurance Medicine website. A country-level analysis will be provided for countries with a minimum of 7 responses from 3 different stakeholder groups, offering an additional benefit for the time you have invested on the survey.

Thank you for supporting this effort to strengthen evidence-based practice in social and insurance medicine. Your support will help ensure that future research reflects the needs of those working on the front lines of these disciplines.

We are grateful for your time and collaboration.
