Box 3: Effects of interventions on secondary outcomes
Self‐scheduling (three studies)
Two studies found no significant differences in the interaction between time and group for a number of measures defined as secondary outcomes in this review: interference with social and family life (Smith 1998); life style/behavioural changes including physical activity and dietary intake (Viitasalo 2008). One study (Pryce 2006) observed significant increases in social support and sense of community for workers in the intervention group compared with the control group over time.
Gradual/partial retirement (one study)
When comparing abrupt and gradual retirees, de Vaus 2007 found no statistically significant differences in life satisfaction or marital cohesion between the different retirement pathways over time.
