To investigate associations between adverse changes in employment status and physical and mental health among US adults (aged 18 years or older) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Data from participants (N = 2565) of a national Internet panel (June 2020) were assessed using path analyses to test associations between changes in self-reported employment status and hours worked and physical and mental health outcomes.
Respondents who lost a job after March 1, 2020 (vs those who did not) reported more than twice the number of mentally unhealthy days. Females and those lacking social support had significantly worse physical and mental health outcomes. Participants in the lowest, pre-pandemic household income groups reported experiencing worse mental health.
Results demonstrate the importance of providing economic and social support services to US adults experiencing poor mental and physical health during the COVID-19 pandemic.
调查在美国成年人（18 岁或以上）中，新冠疫情期间就业状况的不利变化与身心健康之间的关联。
使用路径分析评估来自全国互联网小组（2020 年 6 月）的参与者（N=2565）的数据，以检验自报告的就业状况和工作时间变化与身心健康结果之间的关联。
与没有失业的人相比，2020 年 3 月 1 日后失业的受访者报告的心理健康不佳的天数多了两倍以上。女性和缺乏社会支持的人身心健康状况明显较差。处于最低前疫情家庭收入群体的参与者报告称心理健康更差。
结果表明，在新冠疫情期间，为美国成年人提供经济和社会支持服务以改善他们的身心健康非常重要。
