Research priorities in occupational medicine: a survey of United Kingdom personnel managers.
A Delphi survey was carried out in an attempt to identify areas of priority in occupational health that should be targeted by research. Previously 53 occupational physicians identified and ranked these areas. These were then assessed by personel managers. There was considerable agreement on priorities between the two groups with musculoskeletal disorders and stress securing the highest ranking.
