Economic, life, and disorder changes: time-series analyses.

D Dooley, R Catalano

    American Journal of Community Psychology
    |August 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Economic downturns impact mental health, increasing life changes and trauma. Low-income individuals show greater sensitivity to economic shifts, affecting their mental well-being.

    Area of Science:

    • Social Science
    • Psychiatry
    • Economics

    Background:

    • A prevalent model suggests economic factors influence mental health via life changes and trauma.
    • Previous research and political discourse highlight this economy-mental disorder link.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To empirically test the relationship between economic indicators and mental health.
    • To examine the mediating roles of life events and trauma in this relationship.
    • To investigate economic fluctuations' impact on mental disorder symptoms.

    Main Methods:

    • Time-series analysis of a 16-month survey in Kansas City, Missouri (n=1,140).
    • Economic and noneconomic life events and mental disorder symptoms (Midtown scale) were analyzed.
    • Economic measures for the metropolitan statistical area were used as predictors.

    Main Results:

    • Unemployment positively correlated with both life event variables and mental disorder symptoms.
    • Economic changes showed a lagged effect of 1-2 months on life events and symptoms.
    • Life event variables were not strongly associated with the Midtown scale.
    • Low-income groups exhibited higher responsiveness to economic fluctuations on the Midtown scale compared to middle-income groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Economic downturns are linked to increased life changes, trauma, and mental disorder symptoms.
    • The impact of economic fluctuations on mental health is more pronounced in lower-income populations.
    • Policy interventions addressing economic stability may positively influence population mental health.
