Summarize your thesis

Severe mental illness and its relationship to employment has been a growing area of interest in recent years. Individuals living with a severe mental illness, such as those with disorders like psychosis and personality disorders, often face significant barriers in obtaining and maintaining employment. A retrospective population-based observational study using survey data was employed.
All individuals between 16 and 75 years old and living in England during time the Adult Psychiatric Morbidity Survey (APMS) was conducted in the years 2000 and 2007 were included. A measurement of economic activity was derived from several International Labour Organization (ILO) based questions asking individuals about work. Logistic regression models reporting Average Partial Effects (APEs) were employed to investigate associations between dependant and independent variables. Severe mental illness. Supplementing this quantitative stance is the inclusion of an argument for wider adoption and inclusion of reflexive practice in quantitative research, and accompanied by three short reflexive pieces that show this in practice.
