这项研究分析了2016年英国脱欧公投后英国心理健康状况的变化。使用家庭纵向研究，我们比较了公投前后自我报告的精神痛苦、心理功能和生活满意度的水平。一项线性固定效应分析显示，公投后的心理健康总体下降，精神痛苦程度较高，SF-12心理成分总结得分下降。此外，该研究没有发现公投后两年内总体生活满意度有显著变化的证据。在心理健康方面，年轻男性、受过高等教育的人和本地人，尤其是那些生活在“留欧区”的人，似乎是受英国脱欧影响最大的群体。总体而言，本研究结果表明，公投结果及其带来的经济不确定性对选民心理健康的影响是负面的，并且是发散的。
This study analyses the changes in mental health in the UK that occurred as a result of the 2016 referendum on UK membership of the EU (Brexit). Using the Household Longitudinal Study, we compare the levels of self-reported mental distress, mental functioning and life satisfaction be-fore and after the referendum. A linear fixed effects analysis revealed an overall decrease in mental health post-referendum with higher levels of mental distress, and a decline in the SF-12 Mental Component Summary score. Furthermore, the study does not find evidence of significant changes in overall life satisfaction in the two years after the referendum. Younger men, highly educated and Natives, especially those living in stronger “Remain areas”, seem to be the groups most affected by the Brexit in terms of mental health. Overall, the results of this study suggest that the outcome of the referendum and the economic uncertainty that it brought impacted the mental health of voters in a negative and diverging way.
