Figure 1
Figure 1. Changes to mental health compared to pre-pandemic period as reported by 12–17 year old participants in Statistics Canada’s ongoing Canadian Community Health Survey from September 2020 to February 2022
“Better” includes both “much better” and “somewhat better” responses, “same” categorises the response “about the same,” and “worse” includes both “much worse” and “somewhat worse” responses. The black lines represent the 95% confidence interval for each survey. Some surveys spanned multiple or mid-months, so each survey period is outlined, and May 2021 was not surveyed, as indicated by the white section of the graph. Data were derived from Statistic Canada’s online “Canadians’ health and COVID-19, by age and gender”data available at: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1310080601 (15)
