Prevalence and Frequency of Mental Health Care Provided by General Practitioners: Differences between 2 National Data Sources for the Same Population
Open accessAbstract
Objective: Estimates from Canada's first national mental health surveillance initiative- which is based on diagnostic codes in administrative health care utilization databases- indicate that the proportion of Canadians who receive mental health care is more than twice as high as reported in Canada's national mental health survey. Our study examines and clarifies the nature and extent of differences between 2 predominant types of data that are used for mental health services research and planning. Method: A person-by-person data linkage was conducted between the Canadian Community Health Survey: Mental Health and Well-Being and administrative health care utilization records (British Columbia Ministry of Health Services-Medical Services Plan, and Hospital Discharge Abstract Database) within a universal-access, publically funded health care system, to examine the level of agreement between the data sources and respondent characteristics associated with agreement ( N = 2378). Results: The prevalence of mental health care from general practitioners (GPs) was higher in administrative data (19.3%; 95% CI 17.7% to 20.9%) than survey data (8.5%; 95% CI 7.5% to 9.8%). Agreement between prevalence estimates from the 2 data sources was associated with age, mental health characteristics, and the number of GP visits. The median number of visits per person was significantly higher in the survey data. Conclusions: GPs saw more than twice as many patients for mental health issues according to administrative data, compared with survey data; however, the number of visits per patient was higher in survey data.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
