Note: CCHS = Canadian Community Health Survey, Std. diff. = standardized difference.
↵* Standardized differences were calculated to compare 2002 estimates with 2012 estimates and to compare 2007–2010 and 2011–2014 estimates with 2003–2005 estimates.
↵† Sociodemographic characteristics were derived from the CCHS Mental Health and Well-being Cycle 1.2 (2002) and the CCHS – Mental Health (2012) surveys. Source: Data were derived from the Ontario components of Statistics Canada’s CCHS. Estimates were weighted by the survey sample weight.
