Jones, Loring·1991·Journal of Health & Social Policy

Unemployment has been demonstrated to be a stressful life event with severe health consequences. This paper reviews the literature on the relationship between unemployment and health. Specific risks and the mechanisms that lead to adverse outcomes are identified. Suggested social work interventions to reduce health risks during economic downturns are discussed.

  • Personal earnings and household income of people with major depressive disorder are substantially lower than those without depression, but it is unclear whether depression is primarily a cause, consequence, or both because of reciprocal causation; previous studies have not controlled for reciprocal effects, making the size of adverse effects uncertain; childhood-adolescence depression predicts

    “One of most striking aspects of the impairment associated with MDD is that the personal earnings and household income of people with MDD are substantially lower than those of people without depression.68–73 However, it is unclear whether depression is primariry a cause, consequence, or both in these associations due to the possibility of reciprocal causation between income-earnings and MDD.74”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
