Do type, timing and duration of life course non-employment differentially predict dementia risk? An application of sequence analysis
Multiple Job Holding, Job Changes, and Associations with Gestational Diabetes and Pregnancy-Related Hypertension in the National Birth Defects Prevention Study
We used National Birth Defects Prevention Study data to investigate associations between working patterns shortly before and during pregnancy and gestational diabetes and pregnancy-related hypertension. We analyzed working patterns (multiple-job holders, job changers, single-job holders) during the three months before and during pregnancy for 8140 participants who delivered a live-born child without a birth defect. "Multiple-job holders" worked m…
Investigating Employment Quality for Population Health and Health Equity
Employment quality (EQ) has gained increasing attention as a determinant of health, but the debate among occupational health researchers over the measurement of EQ poses a challenge to advancing the literature. This is especially problematic when the concept is used across social, cultural, and national borders, as EQ is shaped by power dynamics within sociopolitical and economic contexts that are specific to each society. Investigating EQ in con…
What Does Non-standard Employment Look Like in the United States? An Empirical Typology of Employment Quality
Sociopolitical values and social institutions
Work contributes to health and health inequity in complex ways. The traditional exposure-disease framework used in occupational health research is not equipped to address societal contexts in which work is embedded. The political economy approach to public health directly examines macro-level societal contexts, but the attention to work in this literature is mostly on unemployment. As a result, we have limited understanding of work as a social de…
Poor-quality employment and health
Life-course and population health perspectives to fill gaps in migrant health research
This article highlights categories and dichotomies used in the study of the health of migrants, including migrant motivation, migrant type, pre- and post-migration time periods, and health as biomedically or socially determined. The authors suggest that the full spectrum of migrants and migration be considered more thoroughly in order to improve our understanding of migrant health. This paper challenges simple conceptions of migration, mobility, …
Gendered exposures
The paper explores how paid and unpaid labor history over the life course influence women’s cardiovascular disease. U.S. women comprise about 50% of the paid workforce and perform the majority of unpaid labor. However, the influence of women’s work on their health is under-researched. Our sample was drawn from the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study, a cohort of post-menopausal women in the U.S. aged 50–79 at recruitment. Women were cat…
Evaluating Employment Quality as a Determinant of Health in a Changing Labor Market
The shifting nature of employment in recent decades has not been adequately examined from a public health perspective. To that end, traditional models of work and health research need to be expanded to include the relational and contractual aspects of employment that also affect health. We examine the association of three health outcomes with different types of employment in the contemporary U.S. labor market, as measured by a multidimensional co…

Work as an Inclusive Part of Population Health Inequities Research and Prevention
Despite its inclusion in models of social and ecological determinants of health, work has not been explored in most health inequity research in the United States. Leaving work out of public health inequities research creates a blind spot in our understanding of how inequities are created and impedes our progress toward health equity. We first describe why work is vital to our understanding of observed societal-level health inequities. Next, we ou…
Explaining racial/ethnic differences in all-cause mortality in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (Mesa)
Research on racial/ethnic health disparities and socioeconomic position has not fully considered occupation. However, because occupations are racially patterned, certain occupational characteristics may explain racial/ethnic difference in health. This study examines the role of occupational characteristics in racial/ethnic disparities in all-cause mortality. Data are from a U.S. community-based cohort study (n=6342, median follow-up: 12.2 years),…
The Role of Occupation in Explaining Cognitive Functioning in Later Life
Higher levels of education may provide opportunity for intellectually engaging environments throughout adulthood in the form of complex work, which may protect late-life cognition. However, this protective effect of occupational complexity may not occur equally across race-gender subgroups
The effect of perceived overqualification on job satisfaction and career satisfaction among immigrants
Doing what I do best
Exploring associations between state education initiatives and teachers' sleep
Anticipated job benefits, career aspiration, and generalized self-efficacy as predictors for migration decision-making
Examining Pre-migration Health Among Filipino Nurses
Psychosocial work characteristics of personal care and service occupations
This complex process is necessary when conducting research with nontraditional and multilingual worker populations
Workplace racial/ethnic similarity, job satisfaction, and lumbar back health among warehouse workers
Racial and ethnic minority employees constitute a significant proportion of the U.S. workforce. The literature on demographic similarity in the workplace suggests that the proportion of co‐workers who share the same racial/ethnic background (racial/ethnic similarity) can influence job attitudes and employee well‐being and that the reactions to racial/ethnic similarity may differ between the racially dominant and subordinate groups. This study app…
Associations of Workplace Aggression With Work-Related Well-Being Among Nurses in the Philippines
Objectives. We examined whether workplace aggression was associated with self-rated health and work-related injury and illness among nurses in the Philippines. Methods. Our data came from a cross-sectional survey of nurses (n = 687) in the Philippines. We assessed the associations of self-reported physical assault and verbal abuse with self-rated health, work-related injury and illness, and missed workdays with Poisson regression. Control variabl…
