  • For MDD/GAD model explained variance was 0.21 and 0.11 for alcohol model.

  • Multilevel Poisson regression models.

  • *No adjustment: each occupational factor is studied one at the time.

  • †Adjusted on: each occupational factors, age, gender, occupational grade, previous mental health problems/disorders, alcohol abuse, material deprivation and GP’s gender.

  • ‡Adjusted on: each occupational factors, age, gender, occupational grade, family status, company size, previous mental health problems/disorders, job instability, education level, past unemployment, GAD and MDD.

  • GAD, generalised anxiety disorder; GP, general practitioner; MDD, major depressive disorder; RR, relative risk.

  • Bold values correspond to significant results.
