...analyzed the employment history and psychosocial work conditions of nearly 30,000 sawmill workers and found that there was a direct correlation between the stress fathers felt on the job and their children's mental health. The most striking result: 252 of the approximately 20,000 children in the survey whose fathers had stressful jobs attempted or committed suicide from 1985 to 2001.
