近几十年来就业性质的转变没有从公共卫生的角度得到充分的审查。为此，需要扩大传统的工作和健康研究模式，将也影响健康的就业的关系和合同方面包括在内。我们考察了当代美国劳动力市场中三种健康结果与不同类型就业的关联，这是通过从潜在阶级分析得出的就业质量(EQ)的多维结构来衡量的。我们发现情商与自我评估的健康、心理健康和职业伤害有关。此外，我们探讨了情商-健康关系的三种已提出的中介机制(物质剥夺、就业相关压力源和职业风险因素)，并发现每一种机制都得到了这些数据的支持。
The shifting nature of employment in recent decades has not been adequately examined from a public health perspective. To that end, traditional models of work and health research need to be expanded to include the relational and contractual aspects of employment that also affect health. We examine the association of three health outcomes with different types of employment in the contemporary U.S. labor market, as measured by a multidimensional construct of employment quality (EQ) derived from latent class analysis. We find that EQ is associated with self-rated health, mental health, and occupational injury. Further, we explore three proposed mediating mechanisms of the EQ-health relationship (material deprivation, employment-related stressors, and occupational risk factors), and find each to be supported by these data.
