abstract: 'Background: The relative importance of income, poverty and unemployment
status for mental health is unclear, and understanding this has
implications for income and welfare policy design. We aimed to assess
the association between changes in these exposures and mental health.
Methods: We measured effects of three transition exposures between waves
of the UK Household Longitudinal Study from 2010/11-2019/20 (n=38,697,
obs=173,859): income decreases/increases, moving in/out of poverty, and
job losses/gains. The outcome was General Health Questionnaire (GHQ),
which measures likelihood of common mental disorder (CMD) as a
continuous (GHQ-36) and binary measure (score =4 = case). We used
fixed-effects linear and linear probability models to adjust for time
invariant and time-varying confounders. To investigate effect
modification, we stratified analyses by age, sex and highest education.
Results: A 10\% income decrease/increase was associated with a 0.02\%
increase (95\% CI 0.00, 0.04) and 0.01\% reduction (95\% CI -0.03, 0.02)
in likelihood of CMD respectively. Effect sizes were larger for moving
into poverty (+1.8\% {[}0.2, 3.5]), out of poverty (1.8\%, {[}-3.2,
0.3]), job loss (+15.8\%, {[}13.6, 18.0]) and job gain (11.4\%,
{[}-14.4, 8.4]). The effect of new poverty was greater for women (+2.3\%
{[}0.8, 3.9] versus +1.2\% {[}-1.1, 3.5] for men) but the opposite was
true for job loss (+17.8\% {[}14.4, 21.2] for men versus +13.5\% {[}9.8,
17.2] for women). There were no clear differences by age, but those with
least education experienced the largest effects from poverty
transitions, especially moving out of poverty (2.9\%, {[}-5.7, 0.0]).
Conclusions: Moving into unemployment was most strongly associated with
CMD, with poverty also important but income effects generally much
smaller. Men appear most sensitive to employment transitions, but
poverty may have larger impacts on women and those with least education.
As the COVID-19 pandemic recedes, minimising unemployment as well as
poverty is crucial for population mental health.'
