This document is one of a series that covers the major disease groupings that affect Canadians. The series is primarily intended to document the disease classifications used in the Population Health Impact of Disease in Canada research program and help researchers to understand how the PHI estimates were calculated. It is also of interest to health professionals, advocacy groups, and individual Canadians who are looking for an overview of how living with mental illnesses affects day-to-day functioning.
The PHI is a collaboration of Statistics Canada, the Public Health Agency of Canada, and researchers from McGill University, the University of Ottawa, the University of Manitoba, the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) and l'Agence de développement de réseaux locaux de services de santé et de services sociaux de la Montérégie. The PHI was funded by Statistics Canada and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
