摘要

我们利用有关处方、专科就诊、住院和死亡原因的综合行政数据，研究了瑞典博士生的心理健康状况。我们发现，在某一年中，约有 7% （5%）的博士生因抑郁（焦虑）而接受药物治疗或诊断。这些患病率不到早先报道的基于调查的估计值的三分之一，即使在调整了方法差异后，也只有文献中患病率的 43% (72%)。尽管如此，博士生的情况仍然比没有攻读研究生的同龄人更糟。我们的差异研究设计将这种健康劣势全部归因于博士生在读期间。这种恶化表明，博士生的学习对心理健康产生了因果关系。

PhD studies hurt mental health, but less than previously feared

We study the mental health of PhD students in Sweden using comprehensive administrative data on prescriptions, specialist care visits, hospitalizations, and causes of death. We find that about 7 % (5 %) of PhD students receive medication or diagnosis for depression (anxiety) in a given year. These prevalence rates are less than one-third of the earlier reported survey-based estimates, and even after adjusting for difference in methodology, 43 % (72 %) of the rates in the literature. Nevertheless, PhD students still fare worse than their peers not pursuing graduate studies. Our difference-in-differences research design attributes all of this health disadvantage to the time in the PhD program. This deterioration suggests doctoral studies causally affect mental health.

期刊介绍： Research Policy (RP) articles explore the interaction between innovation, technology, or research, and economic, social, political, and organizational processes, both empirically and theoretically. All RP papers are expected to provide insights with implications for policy or management. Research Policy (RP) is a multidisciplinary journal focused on analyzing, understanding, and effectively addressing the challenges posed by innovation, technology, R&D, and science. This includes activities related to knowledge creation, diffusion, acquisition, and exploitation in the form of new or improved products, processes, or services, across economic, policy, management, organizational, and environmental dimensions.
