Objective: It was shown that an indicated prevention strategy (IPS), based on screening and early intervention, can considerably decrease future risk of long-term sickness absence (LTSA>28 days) over one year. Given the nature of the interventions, the potential of an effect extending beyond the original one year of follow-up might be present. This study aims to determine the efficacy of this IPS on LTSA and termination of employment contract over five years by extended follow up of IPS trials.

- The study aimed to evaluate how effective early intervention is in preventing long-term sickness absence and major depression among employees with mild to severe depressive issues.
- Participants were randomly divided into an intervention group and a control group, with their sickness absence and depressive symptoms measured over 12 and 18 months using specific assessments.
- Results showed that the intervention group had significantly lower total sickness absence and improved depressive symptoms compared to the control group, indicating that early interventions can effectively help at-risk employees.
