This overview of the mental health and well-being of Quebecers aged 15 years and over is presented in a publication featuring multiple tables and figures. Data from the Canadian Community Health Survey, Cycle 1.2 (CCHS 1.2), conducted by Statistics Canada in 2002, were used to produce this document. The analyses presented here are purely descriptive and take the form of commented tables and figures. Both positive and negative aspects of mental health are discussed. The first feature self-rated mental health, satisfaction with life, psychological well-being, social support and adaptation to life events. As for negative aspects of mental health, both psychological distress and stress are documented.

"This publication is the fifth and last brochure on the mental health and well-being of adult Quebecers. This study is based on the Canadian Community Health Survey (Cycle 1.2 – Mental Health) conducted in 2002 by Statistics Canada.

This document provides an overview of the findings released in previous publications, and adds data on the positive and negative aspects of mental health. Comparisons between Québec and the other provinces are also presented for a number of relevant indicators. Lastly, a critical discussion is provided and suggestions are made regarding services planning and information needs.

The target population of the survey includes persons aged 15 and over living in households in the 10 Canadian provinces. The Québec sample comprises 5,332 respondents."

This is the fourth brochure on the portrait of the mental health and well-being of Quebecers aged 15 years and over using data from Statistics Canada’s Canadian Community Health Survey (Cycle 1.2). Data on the use of services and medication consumption for mental health purposes in that population in 2002 are presented. The types of assistance required and the impediments to the use of health services are also examined. In conclusion, this publication features guidelines with a view to supporting surveillance and planning.

This is the third brochure in a series that paints a portrait of the mental health and well-being of Quebecers aged 15 and over. Statistics Canada's Canadian Community Health Survey (Cycle 1.2) made it possible to estimate for this population in 2002, the prevalence of several mental health problems: mood disorders, anxiety disorders, suicidal ideation and suicide attempts, alcohol and drug addiction, and at-risk or problem gambling. The presence of concurrent mental health and substance use disorders completes this new portrait of the mental health of the Québec population.

The profile of the mental health and well-being of the Québec population 15 years of age and older is in the form of five brochures. This is the second one. On the basis of Statistics Canada’s Canadian Community Health Survey (Cycle 1.2), it is possible to describe the population of Québec workers 15 to 75 years of age in 2002, and the psychosocial constraints of work to which they are subjected. Several aspects of the stress (decision-making autonomy, social support, physical strain and so on) and working conditions (schedule, number of hours worked, etc.) are related to the state of mental health of the men and women. Possible ways of monitoring deleterious working conditions are suggested.

This profile of the mental health and well-being of the Québec population 15 years of age and older is in the form of five brochures. This is the first one.
