Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:Strengths and Limitations: The major strength of our study is that it is a large national sample weighted to representativeness, allowing robust estimates of U.S. child care professionals’ physical and mental health status and enough statistical power to explore subgroup conditions. The greatest methodological limitation is the sole reliance on self-reported information without medical or psychiatric examination to verify the reporting. Also, findings were obtained during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic (May-June 2020), and the mental health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may have changed over time. Conclusions: Given the impacts of the pandemic on this essential workforce, efforts should be directed toward developing effective and scalable interventions for improving their physical and mental health and addressing stressors that may undermine their wellbeing, such as long hours, low wages, and high job demands that are associated with child care professional stress, burnout and turnover.6,8 Our findings emphasize the need to further examine the health behaviors of child care professionals, via mixed-methods research, to understand what health initiatives might improve their overall wellbeing.
