RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Reporting on alcohol use among women of reproductive age in Canada addresses a major gap in evidence. METHODS: We assessed the prevalence of weekly and heavy alcohol consumption among women aged 15 to 54 years by sociodemographic characteristics, province of residence and concurrent use of other substance(s) using data from the 2019 Canadian Community Health Survey. RESULTS: Of the target population, 30.5% reported weekly and 18.3% reported heavy alcohol consumption in the past year. Prevalence varied by sociodemographic characteristics, province and substance use. The most notable and significant differences were to do with cannabis use and smoking. CONCLUSION: This information can guide health care providers in assessing alcohol consumption and in promoting low-risk alcohol drinking to prevent alcohol exposure during pregnancy.

The Positive Mental Health Surveillance Indicator Framework (PMHSIF) provides estimates of positive mental health outcomes and associated risk and protective factors for youth aged 12 to 17 years in Canada. This study explored the relationship between sociodemographic factors and psychological and social well-being among youth in Canada using data from the Canadian Student Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs Survey 2016-2017. Grade and province were significantly associated with psychological and social well-being.
The Quick Stats table presents recent estimates of positive mental health outcomes and determinants among youth in Canada. Over three-quarters of youth have high relatedness (81.8%), a high level of happiness (79.3%), high competence (78.4%) and high self-rated mental health (75.9%). The majority of youth reported high autonomy (73.0%) and life satisfaction (61.0%). Students in middle school (Grades 78) were more likely to have higher psychological and social well-being compared to students in high school (Grades 912).
