Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In this paper we use data from the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 1.2 to examine the nature of unmet mental health needs in Ontario and how this is affected by sociodemographic, social support, health status and health behaviour. Acceptability is the most frequent type of unmet need and within this category, the largest proportion of people reported experiencing unmet needs because they “preferred to manage the problem themselves”. There are differences in unmet need by geographic region. Compared to Toronto, most regions showed higher odds of reporting acceptability barrier (North, South West, Central South, Central West, Central East) and accessibility barrier (South West, Central East, East). There were no regional differences in reporting unmet mental health care needs due to service availability. There were also significant contributions from age, gender, income, some types of social support, health behaviours, health status, service usage, co-morbidity and mental disorders. Findings show that equity in meeting self-reported unmet mental health needs has not been achieved across all seven Ontario health regions. The most salient finding from our study is that although enhanced mental health services can be important, they are unlikely to eradicate perceived unmet need due to acceptability. There is evidence that an emphasis on some types of social support can buffer against acceptability unmet needs.
