New data released by Statistics Canada compared the same youth in 2019 and 2023 and noted the differences in their overall health, including declines in their mental health.
The Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth surveyed 22,739 youth, who it surveyed in 2019, which is 54 per cent of respondents from the four years prior.
Austin adds that parents and governments need to tackle this mental health crisis for youth before things get worse. The report states that in 2019, 16 per cent of girls aged 12 to 17 rated their mental health as "fair" or "poor" – more than twice that of boys at seven per cent. The proportions increased in 2023 to 33 per cent for girls 16 to 21 years and 19 per cent for boys .
