Individuals who carry guns as a requirement of employment frequently experience hazards that can be stress inducing, violent, traumatizing, or cause personal injury. This study used data from the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiological Surveys (CPES; n = 20,013), to examine mental health diagnoses of individuals that ever worked at a job requiring a firearm. Consistent with existing literature, the findings indicated that those who worked in professions requiring a firearm showed similar risk of mental health diagnoses as law enforcement officers which includes symptoms of trauma, mood disorders, and alcohol use. Further, race/ethnic differences emerged in patterns of mental health diagnoses, suggesting sociocultural differences influence diagnoses. These findings indicate the necessity for further investigation of the understudied area of mental health of those within employment positions that require firearms.

需要枪支的就业中的精神障碍

因工作需要携带枪支的个人经常会遇到危险，这些危险可能会导致压力、暴力、创伤或造成人身伤害。本研究使用的数据来自协作精神病学流行病学调查 (CPES; n = 20,013)，以检查曾从事需要枪支的工作的个人的心理健康诊断。与现有文献一致，研究结果表明，那些从事需要枪支的职业的人表现出与执法人员相似的心理健康诊断风险，包括创伤、情绪障碍和酗酒等症状。此外，种族/民族差异出现在心理健康诊断模式中，表明社会文化差异影响诊断。这些调查结果表明，有必要进一步调查那些在需要枪支的就业岗位上未被充分研究的心理健康领域。
