Who is reaching out for help? Examining access to mental health and substance use health supports among girls and young women in Canada

Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500500001
Description: Girls and young women experience poorer mental health than boys and young men, although the reverse is true for substance use disorders. This study examines whether predisposing characteristics such as immigrant status, population group, rural or urban status, sexual orientation, and neighbourhood income level are correlated with the prevalence of receiving mental health services and substance use disorders, access to formal health supports, and satisfaction with these supports among girls and young women in Canada.
