COVID-19 Precautions and the Impact of COVID-19 on Mental Health of Individuals
During the pandemic, the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) and other initiatives gathered data on self-perceived mental health and mental health care needs. The data here shows the effects of the pandemic on people’s self-perceived mental health, as well as some of the impacts of COVID-19 on visible minority and immigrant individuals.
