How Can Epidemiological Methods Be Used to Study Unemployment?
Epidemiologists can use various methods to study the health impacts of unemployment. Cohort studies can follow groups of employed and unemployed individuals over time to assess differences in health outcomes. Case-control studies can compare those who have experienced unemployment with those who have not, to identify specific health risks. Additionally, cross-sectional studies can provide snapshots of the health status of unemployed populations at a given point in time.
