    Description: This study uses data from multiple waves of the Canadian Social Survey (CSS) to examine trends in three key Quality of Life indicators, namely life satisfaction, experiences of financial hardship, and future outlook. Monitoring these well-being indicators following periods of considerable social and economic change is particularly important. Beginning in the summer of 2021, the CSS, a new quarterly survey, captured the latter part of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the rising cost of living in Canada, allowing for an understanding of how Canadians are coping with these challenges.

This product includes many safeguards to prevent the identification of any one person or household.

    The 2022 MHACS is a repeat of the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey on Mental Health (CCHS-Mental Health). In contrast to the 2002 and 2012 iterations of the CCHS-Mental Health, which were administered in-person, the 2022 MHACS was administered by computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI) due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • 58. Association between Food Insecurity and Stressful Life Events among Canadian Adults
    Articles and reports: 89-648-X2021001
    Description:

    This study investigates the extent to which stressful life events may increase the likelihood of food insecurity among the Canadian adult population. Data from the Wave 4 (2018) of the Longitudinal and International Study of Adults (LISA) and multivariable logistic models were used for the analyses, taking into account the complex survey design and adjusting for other socio-demographic and socio-economic variables known to be associated with food insecurity. The results show that work and health-related stressful life events significantly increase the likelihood of exposure to food insecurity. The results also show that adults who reported having two or more stressful life events were about four times more likely to experience food insecurity than those who reported zero stressful life events.

  • 1. Health State Descriptions for Canadians: Mental Illnesses Archived
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 82-619-M2012004
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Mental illnesses largely involve alterations in mood, thinking, and behaviour, as well as other domains of mental functioning, and affect almost all Canadians in some way, either directly or indirectly. They routinely cause significant impairments in emotional functioning, which may lead to social or physical limitations. In some cases, such as in agoraphobia, individuals cannot even leave their homes due to intense anxiety; depression can cause an individual to lose all interest in life. This document describes the mental illnesses that have the greatest impact on Canadians in terms of prevalence or severity of disability, and how they affect the health status of Canadians.
