  "abstract": "In 3,792 participants from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children, we examined whether repeatedly being Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) between ages 16 and 33 was associated with mental health at age 33. Each additional NEET occasion was associated with higher odds of depression (OR: 1.29, 95%CI: 1.18-1.40), anxiety (1.21, 1.11- 1.32), lower life satisfaction (1.53, 1.40-1.68) and a recent suicide attempt (1.51, 1.28-1.77). Associations were dose-dependent for depression, life satisfaction and a recent suicide attempt, and strongest for first NEET at ages 25-33. Preventing repeated NEET and addressing mental health need at first NEET entry are potential intervention targets.",
