  "abstract": "Objective The objective was to examine the cross-sectional associations between psychosocial work factors and depression using baseline data of a prospective study.Material and Methods The study was based on the data of the national ESPS survey (Enquête Santé et Protection Sociale), a population-based periodical survey in France, whose data were collected in 2010, 2012 and 2014. The sampling design relied on a random selection of households and the inclusion of all persons within each selected household. The studied sample included 15,833 workers. Depression was assessed using one self-reported item related to depression within the last 12 months. Psychosocial work factors included ten factors and the number of exposure to these factors. Logistic regression models with cluster-robust standard errors were performed to study the associations between psychosocial work factors and depression, for men and women, and before and after adjustment for covariates (age, marital status, employee/self-employed worker, public/private sector, occupation, full/part time work, and survey wave).Results The 12-month prevalence of depression was higher among women than among men (5.6% versus 2.7%). Quantitative demands, tensions with the public, low freedom at work, low possibilities for learning new things, low support from colleagues (men only), low recognition at work, low satisfaction with salary, job insecurity, and redundancy plan (men only) were associated with depression. Some associations were stronger among men than among women. The higher the number of psychosocial work factors, the stronger the association with depression.Conclusion The study showed cross-sectional associations, including dose-response associations, between psychosocial work factors and depression. Forthcoming results will investigate the prospective associations of psychosocial work factors with various mental health outcomes.Funding The French National Research Program for Environmental and Occupational Health of Anses (ANSES-23-EST-041)",
