Introduction

The Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health (SLOSH) is a unique longitudinal panel survey that facilitates analyses of the connections between labour market participation, the work environment, retirement and health. This research infrastructure has the goal of supporting researchers in developing knowledge that will improve health, by studying the conditions in which people live and work.

SLOSH is administered by the Stress Research Institute at the Department of Psychology at Stockholm University. It is part of the national research infrastructure "REWHARD". SLOSH also forms part of the Integrated Datasets in Europe for Aging Research (IDEAR) network.

So far, SLOSH has been financed by the Swedish Council for Working Life and Social Research (FAS), Forte, the Swedish Research Council (VR) and Stockholm University.
