Sunday, April 10, 2022 | The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs
Dear John,
Join Health Affairs for our next Journal Club meeting on April 12 with Evan Lemire, focused on the article, "Unequal Housing Conditions And Code Enforcement Contribute To Asthma Disparities In Boston, Massachusetts."
The authors investigate the complex relationship between job loss and suicide, as well as the public policies and
interventions that may mitigate the distress associated with job loss.
The authors write that interventions that could offset the potential impact of unemployment fluctuations on suicide rates include public policies that bolster income, protect health insurance for workers, expand unemployment benefits, and provide tax credits to reduce child care and health care costs.
More specifically, the authors suggest that more generous state-level unemployment programs may buffer the effects of job loss on suicide risk.
They add that evidence-based strategies that integrate mental health supports into employment and training settings may also be promising ways to help workers as they navigate persistent changes to workforce demands.
They write that the pandemic has caused historic disruptions in the nation’s workforce, which may affect
suicide rates.
As more data becomes available, the relative impact on populations historically experiencing health disparities will be better understood.
