Percent of Adults with Poor Mental Health-Northwest Region
Current Value
15.0%
Definition
This indicator describes the percent of adults reporting poor mental health in Franklin and Grand Isle counties from 2003-2016.
Story Behind the Curve
Poor mental health is more prevalent among females, younger adults, adults with less education or lower income, BIPOC adults, LGBTQ+ adults, and those with a disability.
Why Is This Important?
The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) of adult Vermonters tracks health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, and the use of preventive services. Poor mental health is defined as 14+ days in the last 30 where mental health was self-reported as not good by survey respondents.
