Person-related work and incident use of antidepressants: relations and mediating factors from the Danish work environment cohort study
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Previous Danish studies have shown that employees who "work with people" (i.e., do person-related work) are at increased risk of hospitalization with a diagnosis of depression. However, these studies were purely register-based and consequently unable to point to factors underlying this elevated risk. This paper examines whether person-related work is associated with incident use of antidepressants, and whether this association is mediated by several work environment exposures.
