Black men in Philly are more likely to experience poor mental health after severe injury, a new study shows
Sara Jacoby of the School of Nursing co-led a study about how returning, or not returning, to work after a traumatic injury impacted the mental health of Black men living in Philadelphia. “If your economic stability, your financial opportunity is contingent on work, which it is for many of us, then not returning to work is an additional barrier to healing … because you’re further stressed by the inability to make your day-to-day work,” said Jacoby.
