Description:Objectives:
To examine the association between arthritis diagnosis and educational and employment participation among young adults, and to determine whether findings differ by self-rated health.
Methods:
Data from the National Health Interview Survey, years 2009 to 2014, were combined and analyzed. Our sample was restricted to those aged 18-29 years either diagnosed with arthritis (n = 1,888) or not (n = 35,051). Prevalence and correlates of employment and educational participation in the past week were compared by arthritis status. Demographic characteristics, social role participation restrictions, health factors, and health system use variables were included as covariates. Self-rated health and arthritis diagnosis interaction was also examined within models. Weighted proportions, univariate, and multivariate associations were calculated to examine the association between arthritis and educational and employment participation.
Results:
Arthritis respondents were more likely to be female, married, report more social participation restrictions, fair/poor health, and functional limitations than those without arthritis. In multivariate models, arthritis was significantly associated with slightly higher employment participation (PR = 1.08; 95%CI 1.03-1.14), but not with educational participation (PR = 0.75; 95%CI 0.56-1.02). Stratified analyses showed that among those reporting higher self-rated health, arthritis diagnosis was associated with higher employment participation (PR = 1.09; 95%CI 1.03-1.14).
Conclusion:
For young adults with arthritis there may be need to design interventions that focus both on improving self-rated health and promoting labor market participation.
