Mental health and substance use during COVID-19 : summary report / conducted by Leger for the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction and the Mental Health Commission of Canada.: H17-9/2020E-PDF

"The COVID-19 pandemic has increased stress across the population on many fronts. Mental health impacts are increasingly clear, including symptoms of anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation. Alcohol and cannabis use have also gone up. It is well-known that mental health and substance use are intimately connected. Yet, this intersection has not received a great deal of attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) and the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) have collaborated in an on-going polling initiative ... The objectives of this project are to monitor the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and substance use, inform the development of resources to address the mental health and substance use needs of Canadians, inform decisions and policies to facilitate greater availability of, and accessibility to, mental health and substance use services during a public health crisis"--Context and objectives, page 3.
