Abstract
Features of employment precarity are associated with adverse behavioral health outcomes; however, most studies have not examined employment precarity comprehensively, nor have they explored increasing employment precarity and risk of poor behavioral health over time. The proposed project will provide a mechanism to measure employment precarity comprehensively while accounting for its dynamic nature over time and will elucidate the relationships between employment precarity, employment variability, and behavioral health longitudinally. Determining the relationships between these phenomena across the life course can help to identify opportunities for more targeted research to pinpoint possible interventions to prevent or reduce adverse behavioral health outcomes in the US workforce.
