Description: This chapter describes the physical, psychological and social wellbeing of a cohort of Australian men in the Hunter Valley region of Australia who had been retrenched when a large steelworks closed down. The study hypothesis was that the health status of these men would deteriorate over time following the factory closure, particularly in the unemployed group, despite the different social and economic conditions in Australia. The cohort reported is part of a larger study that also examined the health of spouses and trialled an intervention for general medical practitioners in the region aimed at raising their awareness of the relaticlnship between unemployment and health.
