Fully adjusted model: ‘Any changes’ adjusted for all employee-level covariates and number of work-unit employee and in the fixed part and a random intercept for the work-unit level (model 3). Each type of organisational changes additionally adjusted for other changes as potential confounders on the association with psychotropic prescriptions:
