Unwanted work changes	(relative to pre-diagnosis)	Intervention Control		0.0 ± 0.0 0.0 ± 0.0		0.1 ± 0.3 0.0 ± 0.0		0.0 ± 0.2 0.1 ± 0.3	RR: .42^c, 95% CI: 0.03–6.03

^aDetermined for the subgroup of participants who did return to work
^bHigher scores represent a higher level of successfulness of RTW and quality of working life
^cRelative risk of returning to work / experiencing unwanted work changes for the intervention versus the control group at T2
^dInteraction effect between time (T0-T2) and group
