Recently, the Washington Group on Disability Statistics (WG) measure of disability has been introduced to the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS).

In alternate cycles of the CCHS, it replaces the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3), a generic preference-based measure of health-related quality of life.

{"title":"Mental health and access to support among 2SLGBTQ+ youth.","authors":"Mila Kingsbury, Leanne Findlay","doi":"10.25318/82-003-x202401100002-eng","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.25318/82-003-x202401100002-eng","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>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.</p><p><strong>Data and methods: </strong>Participants were 2,047 youth aged 15 to 24 years who responded to the 2022 Mental Health and Access to Care Survey. The 2SLGBTQ+ population was derived from youth reports of their gender, sex at birth, and sexual orientation. Two dimensions of social experiences were assessed using the Social Provisions Scale and the Negative Social Interactions Scale. Symptoms of mental health and substance use disorders were assessed via computer-assisted diagnostic interview using a modified version of the World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). Use of formal and informal mental health supports was self-reported by youth.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Results indicated significant group differences in the proportion of youth meeting criteria for any CIDI disorder, a major depressive episode, generalized anxiety disorder, and suicidal ideation in the past 12 months. For example, 56% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 49 to 63) of 2SLGBTQ+ youth met criteria for any CIDI disorder, compared with 29% (95% CI: 26 to 32) of cisgender heterosexual youth. Logistic regression models suggested that after adjusting for demographic covariates, 2SLGBTQ+ youth were at elevated risk of these mental health conditions compared with their cisgender heterosexual peers. These differences remained apparent after adjusting for social support and negative social interactions. Among those meeting criteria for any disorder, 2SLGBTQ+ youth were more likely to report receiving formal and informal mental health support.</p><p><strong>Interpretation: </strong>2SLGBTQ+ youth are at elevated risk of several indicators of poor mental health compared with their cisgender heterosexual peers - differences which are not fully explained by their access to social support and negative social interactions. Some of the remaining differences may potentially be explained by the impact of unmeasured aspects of minority stress on 2SLGBTQ+ youth.</p>","PeriodicalId":49196,"journal":{"name":"Health Reports","volume":"35 11","pages":"12-22"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142689485","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}
