This study aimed to describe the timing of health service use by injured truck drivers with work-related injury and to explore the association between demographic and injury factors and the duration of health service use.<jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>Retrospective cohort study of injured truck drivers with accepted workers\u2019 compensation claims in the state of Victoria, Australia. Descriptive analyses examined the percentage of injured truck drivers using health services by service type. Logistic regression model examined predictors of any service use versus no service use, and predictors of extended service use (\u2265\u200952\u00a0weeks) versus short-term use.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>The timing of health service use by injured truck drivers with accepted workers\u2019 compensation claims varies substantially by service type. General practitioner, specialist physician, and physical therapy service use peaks within the 14\u00a0weeks after compensation claim lodgement, whilst the majority of mental health services were accessed in the persistent phase beyond 14\u00a0weeks after claim lodgement. Older age, being employed by small companies, and claiming compensation for mental health conditions were associated with greater duration of health service use.<jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>Injured truck drivers access a wide range of health services during the recovery and return to work process. Delivery of mental health services is delayed, including for those making mental health compensation claims. Health service planning should take into account worker and employer characteristics in addition to injury type.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10926-021-10001-y","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,8]],"date-time":"2021-09-08T09:03:06Z","timestamp":1631091786000},"page":"744-753","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Timing of Health Service Use Among Truck Drivers After a Work-Related Injury or Illness"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"31","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5033-6248","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ting","family":"Xia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alex","family":"Collie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sharon","family":"Newnam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dan I.","family":"Lubman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ross","family":"Iles","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"10001_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e3","DOI":"10.1017\/idm.2018.4","volume":"13","author":"A Kosny","year":"2018","unstructured":"Kosny A, Lifshen M, Yanar B, Tonima S, MacEachen E, Furlan A, Koehoorn M, Beaton D, Cooper J, Neis B.
