| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 7FeiTR0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. A secondary analysis of data relevant for mental health extracted from the data collected by the National Health Survey in 1997 has been performed. A subsample of individuals aged 15 years and more, namely only those subjects having a GHQ score (General Health Questionnaire 12 items), were included in the analysis (N=8184). The other "mental health" indicators considered are : depression during the last 12 months, and psychotropic drug consumption (tranquillizers, sleep inducing pills, antidepressants) the last 2 weeks. This study aimed to answer following questions :/What is the mental health state of the population ?/Is it possible to determine some subgroups at risk for mental health problems ?/Do people from the Brussels-Capital Region having mental health problems present more medical consumption, and if so which ones ? In the present article a selection of relevant findings are presented. A less favourable situation in terms of mental health appears for Brussels-Capital and Wallonia in comparison to Flanders, indicating most probably socio-economic and cultural differences Mental health indicators are associated with socio-demographic and behavioral variables as well as with satisfaction of social contacts, underlining the close relationship between mental, physical and social health. |
