Brief description Chronic work stress doubles the risk of cardiovascular disease and depression and accounts for almost 30% of all Workers Compensation costs paid by the Australian Government. Our preliminary studies have shown (1) an inverse correlation between fish consumption and work stress, and (2) a pilot randomised controlled double-blind study demonstrated that fish oil had twice the rate of stress reduction than placebo. This study aims to show that fish oil ameliorates stress in a larger population.
