Abstract:

This thesis examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of people in Canada. The study utilizes survey data collected by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) and the research technology company Delvinia. This thesis aims to investigate the relationship between mental well-being and pandemic-related restrictions, as well as socioeconomic factors to provide a data-driven analysis of how the pandemic has affected the mental health of Canadians. The theoretical part of the study provides an overview of mental health and mental health disorders, including their causes, as well as the restrictions imposed in Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic. The practical part of the study involves preliminary data analysis and statistical testing using the chi-square test, relative risk analysis, and investigation of proportions to compare the two survey results. This will provide a comprehensive understanding of the impact of the pandemic on mental health and highlight any changes in the relationship between mental well-being and socioeconomic factors over time. IBM SPSS Statistics version 19 is used for testing and visualization.
