  • 6. Mental health and access to support among 2SLGBTQ+ youth
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202401100002
    Description: Compared with their cisgender heterosexual peers, youth who are Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer and those who use other terms related to gender or sexual diversity (2SLGBTQ+) are at elevated risk for mental health difficulties and suicidality. The social experiences of 2SLGBTQ+ youth, including the impact of minority stress, access to social support, and experiences of negative social interactions, may contribute to this disparity. The purpose of this study is to describe the mental health and service use of 2SLGBTQ+ youth compared with those of their cisgender heterosexual peers and (2) examine the role of young people’s social support and negative social interactions in explaining mental health inequities between 2SLGBTQ+ youth and their peers.

  • 10. Factors associated with the use of oral health care services among Canadian children and youth
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400400002
    Description: Children’s oral health can affect functional capacities, psychological well-being, and social integration. Additionally, health behaviours established in childhood extend into adulthood and can influence oral health outcomes later in life. Using data from the 2019 Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth, this study investigates the association between dental insurance, income, and dental care access for Canadian children and youth aged 1 to 17 years. It contributes to a baseline understanding of oral health care use before the implementation of the Canadian Dental Care Plan.
