A cross-sectional study was carried out to compare psychiatric impairment in young unemployed men and apprentices from Sydney's western suburbs. The unemployed men were found to have a psychiatric case rate (as defined by the GHQ) of 48% as against a rate of 28% for the apprentices. Comparisons of the unemployed men and apprentices on other measures indicated that they did not differ in physical health nor in the value they attached to work. The unemployed, however, were older on average, less well educated and had experienced a poorer quality of parental upbringing than the apprentices. A log-linear analysis revealed that the adverse effects of unemployment on mental health were not attributable to poor quality of upbringing.
开展了一项横断面研究，以比较悉尼西郊年轻失业男性和学徒的精神障碍情况。结果发现，失业男性的精神病例发生率（按照一般健康问卷定义）为48%，而学徒的这一比率为28%。对失业男性和学徒在其他指标上的比较表明，他们在身体健康以及对工作的重视程度方面并无差异。然而，失业者平均年龄更大，受教育程度更低，并且与学徒相比，其成长过程中接受的父母教养质量更差。对数线性分析显示，失业对心理健康的不利影响并非归因于教养质量差。
