The aim of this study was to investigate whether coping strategies in adolescence (14-15 years of age) were associated with labour-market participation (LMP) in young adulthood (25-26 years of age) and whether the association differed by sex. A birth cohort from the former county of Ringkjoebing, Denmark, consisting of 2826 individuals, comprised the study population. In 2004, the study population completed a questionnaire from which information about coping and covariates were gathered. Coping strategies were measured using five sub-scales of the Brief COPE Scale, which were combined into two overall coping strategies: active coping and avoidant coping. Ten years later, the participants were followed for a 52-week period in a register on social benefits. Logistic regression was applied to data, with adjustment for covariates: sex, parents' socio-economic status (education and income) and self-rated health. A total of 2203 (78%) participants were categorised as high LMP at follow-up. No significant associations were found between active coping in adolescence and LMP in 2014/2015. For avoidant coping, in the fully adjusted model, medium-level avoidant coping was associated with higher odds (odds ratio (OR)=1.02 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.83-1.25) of high LMP. For low avoidant coping, the OR was 1.37 (95% 1.07-1.75). For both coping strategies, sex did not modify the association.
本研究旨在探讨青少年（14-15 岁）的应对策略是否与成年早期（25-26 岁）的劳动力市场参与相关，以及这种关联是否因性别而异。丹麦林克比县的一个出生队列，由 2826 人组成，构成了研究人群。2004 年，研究人群完成了一份问卷，从中收集了应对策略和协变量的信息。应对策略使用 Brief COPE 量表的五个子量表进行测量，这些子量表被组合成两种总体应对策略：积极应对和回避应对。十年后，参与者在社会福利登记处被跟踪了 52 周。使用逻辑回归对数据进行了分析，调整了协变量：性别、父母的社会经济地位（教育和收入）和自我评估的健康状况。共有 2203 名（78%）参与者在随访时被归类为高劳动力市场参与度。青少年时期的积极应对与 2014/2015 年的劳动力市场参与之间没有显著关联。对于回避应对，在完全调整的模型中，中等级别的回避应对与更高的可能性相关（优势比（OR）=1.02（95%置信区间（CI）0.83-1.25），具有高劳动力市场参与度。对于低水平的回避应对，OR 为 1.37（95%置信区间 1.07-1.75）。对于这两种应对策略，性别都没有改变这种关联。
