Groundbreaking mental health study to be repeated 30 years later - Canada

Chris Engel 5/16/135:20 PM

"A Hamilton study that became the gold standard globally for measuring children’s mental health is being updated after 30 years and will once again be led by Hamilton experts....

"The Ontario Child Health Study was co-authored by the late Dr. Dan Offord in 1983 and found that one in five children has some type of mental health problem. It was the first time that one in five figure had been determined with such comprehensive data....

"The second follow-up examined the significance of how childhood experiences effected a person when they grew up in terms of how successful they were at work, in their parenting and in social integration.

"The new study is being funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research."
