Participants (N = 628) randomized to a vignette completed the Attitudes toward Individuals with Bipolar Disorder in the Workplace Scale (social acceptability, competency, reliability, advancement, job demotion/loss). Multivariable regressions found men rated co-workers with BD as more socially acceptable, while women rated co-workers as more competent and less likely to lose their job/be demoted. Mediational analyses assessing whether a personal diagnosis of a mood disorder mediates attitudes toward co-workers with BD and gender found 8–17% of a relationship between gender and attitudes is attributed to a participant diagnosis of depression or BD.

For example, having money in savings may mitigate the impact of job loss on mental health. We use structural equation modeling with data from the Socio-Economic Impacts of COVID-19 Survey with a nationally representative sample (N = 3,341) to examine COVID-19 related job loss and mental health as partially mediated by liquid assets and Financial Well-Being (FWB) and moderated by race and ethnicity as moderators. More than a quarter (28.34%) of participants said they experienced a job or income loss due to COVID-19, which was associated with greater psychological distress as measured by the PHQ-4. The structural model had excellent fit (RMSEA = 0.021); FWB partially mediated the relationship between job/income loss and mental health (p < .001), accounting for 49% of the total effect. However, liquid financial assets did not partially mediate this relationship. Black participants experienced very different direct and indirect effects. Social workers should assess and intervene concerning financial factors when individuals experience job loss. Job loss is different among Black individuals who face greater challenges related to structural racism yet also have greater resilience.","PeriodicalId":46241,"journal":{"name":"Social Work in Mental Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43025521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
