A structural two-equation model was used to explain which centres' factors impact prescriptions more. This model determined the influence of PHCs' factors (location, delay in specialized care, sick leave duration, etc.) on the incidence and absence rates, and on the interdependence between both rates. The results suggest the need to improve centres' management (clinical guidelines) and labour market regulations, and to control the disability benefits paid. © 2013 © 2013 Taylor & Francis.Reserva de todos los derechosMental disordersSick leaveLinear regressionDisability insuranceSimultaneous equationsECONOMIA FINANCIERA Y CONTABILIDADECONOMIA, SOCIOLOGIA Y POLITICA AGRARIAArtículo10.1080/0020716.2013.808334Abierto
