Self-rated mental health measures how a person views the state of their mental health.[1] Fair or poor self-rated mental health is associated with psychological distress, depressive symptoms, and mental disorders.[1]

Youth with very good or excellent self-rated mental health

About the Measure

The Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) collects information related to health status, health care utilization and health determinants.[2] The CCHS asks youth, aged 12 to 18, to rate their mental health.

Key Findings

The percentage of youth who reported “very good” or “excellent” self-rated mental health varied between years. In 2017, approximately half of youth, aged 14 to 18, reported "very good" or "excellent" self-rated mental health. However, 2017 data should be interpreted with caution due to a small sample size, which resulted in high sampling variability. This data can be found in the downloadable Excel file at the bottom of this page.

Limitations

The CCHS collects self-reported data and is subject to response and recall bias. The sample size also limits the ability to separate by sex, geography and any other demographic characteristics.
