The Measurement of Precarious Work and Market Conditions: Insights from the COVID-19 Disruption on Sample Selection
Work Occup. 2023 Feb;50(1):22-59. doi: 10.1177/07308884221127636.ABSTRACTThe precarious work construct combines employment instability and employment-contingent outcomes. Yet, I argue that confining the scope of the investigation to employed individuals creates a sample selection that disguises the heterogeneous nature of employment instability. The COVID-19 skyrocketing unemployment rate provides both a compelling motivation and a unique opportunity to revisit the construct of precarious work. Using pre-COVID and COVID-19 era data of the working-age population in Israel, the results demonstrate that by pushing less stable...

The Role of Black Churches in Promoting Mental Health for Communities of Socioeconomically Disadvantaged Black Americans
CONCLUSIONS: Uptake of traditional mental health services was low, and reliance on faith and resource distribution by the church was high. Church-led interventions are needed to promote mental health at the individual and community levels. Mental health stigma, and negative attitudes toward mental health promotion in the community, may be addressed by integrating traditional mental health services in church-based recreational and leisure activities.PMID:38595118 | DOI:10.1176/appi.ps.20230263 (Source: Psychiatric Services)

Survivorship concerns among individuals diagnosed with metastatic cancer: Findings from the Cancer Experience Registry
CONCLUSION: Individuals with metastatic cancer experience a variety of moderate-to-severe survivorship concerns that warrant additional investigation.IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: As the population of individuals with metastatic cancer lives longer, future research must investigate solutions to address modifiable factors associated with survivorship concerns, such as unemployment due to disability.PMID:38592607 | DOI:10.1007/s11764-024-01573-8 (Source: Cancer Control)

Examining Utilization of Family-Based Treatment in Substance Use Treatment Centers
AbstractThe multiple benefits of family-based treatment (FBT) used in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment include increased treatment engagement, better treatment outcomes, and cost-effectiveness compared to other behavioral health treatment modalities. However, the prevalence and types of FBTs offered among SUD treatment facilities are largely unknown. The present study used data collected during 2009 –2010 from 325 treatment centers in the United States to (1) explore the prevalence in the utilization of FBT in SUD treatment, and (2) identify differences between treatment facilities that do and do not offer FBT. Res...

Screening Out Neurodiversity
Kennedy Inst Ethics J. 2023;33(1):21-54. doi: 10.1353/ken.2023.a899458.ABSTRACTAutistic adults suffer from an alarmingly high and increasing unemployment rate. Many companies use pre-employment personality screening tests. These filters likely have disparate impacts on neurodivergent individuals, exacerbating this social problem. This situation gives rise to a bind. On the one hand, the tests disproportionately harm a vulnerable group in society. On the other, employers think that personality test scores are predictors of job performance and have a right to use personality traits in their decisions. It is difficult to say ...
