Compared with 2019, the gender gap in negative self-perceived mental health increased during the pandemic. The number and type of intersections of specific socioeconomic characteristics also had an impact on mental health outcomes. During the pandemic, women and girls with the following characteristics were more likely to report low self-perceived mental health, compared with women and girls with no intersections: those with a disability (7.8 times); or who are lesbian, gay, or bisexual or have another sexual orientation than heterosexual (5.6); or who are Indigenous (3.6).</p><p><strong>Interpretation: </strong>The intersections of gender and other sociodemographic characteristics increased the odds of negative self-perceived mental health.</p>","PeriodicalId":49196,"journal":{"name":"Health Reports","volume":"35 7","pages":"14-27"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141635239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
