Abstract

This study examines eight measures of mental health and looks for associations with nine potential demographic and psychosocial determinants. Data from the National Population Health Survey (NPHS), analyzed by logistic regression, reveal consistently strong, graded, independent associations of current stress, social support, life events, education and childhood traumas with both positive and negative indicators of mental health status. Sex differences exist for four of eight measures. For most indicators, mental health is relatively poor among youth and improves with age. Physical and mental health problems are associated. There is no independent relation between mental health and income adequacy or province of residence. Two measures used in several previous Canadian surveys are recommended for inclusion in the NPHS to better monitor population mental health.
