The impact of work loss on mental and physical health during the COVID-19 pandemic: Findings from a prospective cohort study 2020-09-09 .txt text/plain 3018 180 53 The odds of high psychological distress (AOR=5.43-8.36), poor mental (AOR=1.92-4.53) and physical health (AOR=1.93-3.90) were increased in those reporting fewer social interactions or less financial resources. Conclusion: Losing work during the COVID-19 pandemic is associated with mental and physical health problems, and this relationship is moderated by social interactions and financial resources. This study aimed to determine whether losing work during the COVID-19 pandemic is associated with poorer mental and physical health, and to determine if financial resources and social interactions moderate the relationship between work loss and health. This study demonstrates that in a cohort of people employed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, those experiencing work loss are more likely to report psychological distress, and poor mental and physical health compared to those whose work was unaffected. Those in the job loss group had the greatest odds of reporting high psychological distress, poor mental and physical health than those in the other study groups. ./cache/cord-257069-fs2fkidt.txt ./txt/cord-257069-fs2fkidt.txt
