Sociodemographic and environmental predictors of mental health outcomes, substance use, and self-care behaviours during the COVID-19 pandemic in New Brunswick

Understanding the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Canadians’ mental health is crucial to inform government planning for the delivery of services and support during and after the pandemic. This research project will assess the mental health impacts of COVID-19 in New Brunswick by analyzing self-reported data from Statistics Canada’s Survey on COVID-19 and Mental Health (SCMH) Cycles 1 and 2 and comparing these to pre-pandemic data from CCHS. This work will help gain an understanding of how mental health experiences differed across sociodemographic groups and according to environmental factors in NB before and during the pandemic.
