Primary health care for mental health: An analysis of Ontario Health Service activity rates by socio-economic measures

In my new research that began at ICES, I examined Canadian data in order to compare Australian and Canadian findings. I compared the pattern of psychological distress and mental health visits in Australia and Canada, and provided insights into the mental health of people living in a high-income country characterised by expansive non-metropolitan and rural regions, as well as having areas with socioeconomic deprivation.
