“…36,37 Likewise, studies examining the effect of employment on alcohol use and misuse have produced inconsistent findings based largely on cross-sectional data in which possible confounding factors are often unaccounted for. 38 A longitudinal study by Booth and Feng 38 found that heavy drinkers were more likely to be unemployed at follow-up after controlling for other drug use, recent health status and negative life events. Consistent with our findings, a study by Feng and colleagues 39 showed that problematic drinking is associated with being employed, but among females only.…”

“…Our results indicate that compared to disability related to physical disorders, related to substance use is significantly associated with lower likelihood of Community Ment Health J employment benefit receipt. Indeed, substance use has been reported to be a factor contributing to unemployment (Booth and Feng 2002;Johansson et al 2007;Laudet 2012;Platt 1995). The divergence of the regression results from the simple bivariate results might be attributable to the fact that the bivariate results are not adjusted for potentially confounding factors.…”

Using administrative data from the public long-term disability support program in Ontario, Canada, this paper examines the factors related to receipt of a paid employment benefit. These analyses include only ODSP beneficiaries who were primary beneficiaries, who had active files in March 2011 and who were <65 years of age and had a disability-related primary diagnosis (n = 253,492). About 9 % of primary beneficiaries received the employment benefit. Logistic regression results suggest that compared to those who have a disability related to a physical disorder, those who have a psychotic disorder (OR 1.125), a mood disorder (OR 1.139) or a developmental disability (OR 1.618) are significantly more likely to receive the benefit while those who have a substance use disorder were significantly less likely (OR 0.540). These results indicate that a proportion of people who receives public disability benefits are employed. In addition, all things being equal, people with mental disorders are more likely to use this type of program than people with physical disorders.

“…As an example of the latter, Booth [14] found no significant negative association between problem drinking and employment both for men and women of six southern states in the US, controlling for other covariates. The study by Hemminsson [15] showed that in Sweden there is a strong relationship between the incidence of alcoholism in socio-economic groups and occupations, and the average alcohol consumption in these groups (measured among men).…”
