In our latest report titled, "Mental and Physical Health Status of US Health Care Workers", we examined the health of health care workers pre-pandemic. Low-wage workers tend to report more mental health conditions than high-wage workers, a problem likely to have been exacerbated by the pandemic. Get more details in our report and see thread below for some highlights by Director Bianca K. Frogner. https://lnkd.in/g5suic7n

Healthcare workers are just like the rest of us-they have health problems too! In our newest Center for Health Workforce Studies at University of Washington report, a few notable findings: *Aides/assistants (e.g., nursing assistants & medical assistants) had the highest probability of reporting any #mentalhealth conditions relative to other healthcare workers. *No significant differences found in adjusted probabilities of reporting physical health conditions by occupation other than physicians generally having lowest probability of having any physical health condition except cancer where probability was highest. *Physicians reported fewest comorbidities of any type, in part driven by almost no mental illness reported by physicians (!). Therapists reported highest number of comorbidities, driven by physical health comorbidities though differences were not statistically significant. A couple concerns around mental health include: 1) ensuring access to mental health services including adequate and affordable health insurance coverage, especially for low wage workers; 2) addressing stigma esp among physicians who may have concerns about license consequences. Read the report to learn more details about how physical and mental health conditions distributed by setting. https://lnkd.in/g4jPF2BA
