    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201300211769
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This study describes trajectories of health-related quality of life (HRQL) in relation to smoking status.

An important advantage to the analysis was the availability of longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey, which collected information from survey participants every two years over a 16-year period.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    While almost all Canadians reported stress in 1994/95, women were more likely than men to do so, and they reacted to a wider range of stressors.

The impact of stress on psychological well-being may be buffered by emotional support as will be demonstrated in this article.
