Résumé
Purpose: We aimed to determine whether linguistic group
influences reported prevalence rates for a number of common mental disorders.
Methods: Secondary data analyses of the Canadian
Community Health Survey cycle 1.2 (CCHS 1.2) were
carried out on representative bilingual French and English,
monolingual French and English and other language groups
in Canada. Past year prevalence of major depression,
anxiety disorders (agoraphobia, social phobia, panic disorder)and alcohol abuse/dependence were ascertained
using versions of the World Mental Health Composite
International Diagnostic Interview (WMH-CIDI) questionnaire.
Multivariate data analyses were used to model
past year presence of a mental disorder as a function of
linguistic group, defined as languages can converse in, and
adjusting for socioeconomic, demographic and cultural
factors.
Results: Overall, past year rates for the presence of a
common mental disorder were 10.7% (9.7–11.7%) for the
bilingual English; 9.0% (8.1–9.9%) for the bilingual
French; 10.2% (9.8–10.6) for the monolingual English;
8.5% (7.7–9.3%) for the monolingual French; and 8.3%
(6.1–10.4%) for the other language group. After adjusting
for a number of socio-demographic, economic and cultural
factors, the multivariate analyses showed that the linguistic groups were equally likely to report the presence of a past year common mental disorder. This was also true for comparisons between the bilingual participants responding in French and English.
Conclusions: The differences observed in the reported
crude rates for the presence of mental disorders across the
different linguistic groups in Canada were explained by
socio-demographic, economic, and factors such as immigration, spoke a third language and province of residence,and not explained by language of interview.
