abstract: 'PurposeWe investigated prospective associations between mental illness

  and psychosocial employment quality using a nationally representative

  sample of the French working population by gender, primary diagnosis,

  and age of onset.Methods6234 employed French adults (aged 20-74years)

  were followed from 2006 to 2010. All respondents provided data on 26

  indicators of psychosocial employment quality drawn from the Job-Strain

  Model, other job stressors, and indicators of working time stressors

  (i.e., shift work, night work, and long working hours).ResultsWe

  performed 272 statistical tests, of which 37 were significant following

  adjustment for age, poor socio-economic position during childhood,

  unemployment status at wave one, and anxiety or depression at wave two.

  Females with a lifetime diagnosis of any mental illness reported higher

  psychological and emotional demands at work, whilst males reported low

  decision latitude, tensions with the public, and work-life imbalance. In

  both genders a lifetime diagnosis of any mental illness was associated

  with role and ethical conflict. A lifetime diagnosis of major depression

  appeared to have stronger associations for females, whilst substance use

  disorder was associated with poorer psychosocial employment quality in

  males. Adolescent-onset mental illness might be associated with poorer

  psychosocial employment quality among men more so than among

  women.ConclusionsResults suggest that people with a history of mental

  illness who obtain employment tend to be employed in jobs characterized

  by poor psychosocial quality. Employment quality should be considered in

  vocational rehabilitation policies and practices aimed at optimizing

  employment participation in this population.'
