Survey examines occupational proximity to others among employed US adults
A survey report described an observational study examining occupational proximity among employed adults in the United States. The exposure of interest was working closer than 6 feet from other persons all or most of the time at a person's main job. The primary outcome was the percentage of employed adults with this exposure.
The source did not report any results, including the percentage, absolute numbers, effect sizes, p-values, or confidence intervals. No comparator groups were described. Safety, tolerability, and adverse event data were not reported. The study's follow-up duration and funding or conflict of interest disclosures were also not reported.
Key limitations include the absence of reported results and statistical measures. The evidence is based on survey data, indicating association only, not causation. The practice relevance of this incomplete report is not reported. Clinicians should recognize this as a description of a study aim rather than evidence of an association or prevalence.
