^aThe higher the value, the stronger the intention
^bReturn to work
^cLevel of significance: p = < 0.05
^dThe higher the value, the stronger the intention/attitude/social pressure and perceived behavioural control
^eThe higher the value, the lower psychological well-being and higher perceived health and education level (continuous scales)
^fDichotomous variables where 0 = has not been on sick leave due to CMD before/ no comorbidity/employer has not taken any actions to facilitate the woman’s RTW. 1 = has been on sick leave due to CMD before/ presence of comorbidity/employer has taken actions to facilitate RTW
