| Abstract: | The influence of unemployment and adverse work conditions on the
course of psychopathology after a mass disaster is unclear. We recruited
a representative sample of adults living in the New York City metropolitan
area six months after the September 11 attacks and completed
follow-up interviews on 71% of the baseline sample six months later
(N = 1939). At follow-up, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
persisted in 42.7% of the 149 cases with PTSD at baseline. In
multivariable models, unemployment at any time since baseline predicted
PTSD persistence in the entire cohort (P = 0.02) and among
persons employed at follow-up (P = 0.02). High levels of perceived work
stress predicted PTSD persistence among persons employed at follow-up
(P = 0.02). Persons unemployed in the aftermath of a disaster may be
at risk for poor mental health in the long-term. |
