In 2020, around 61 percent of Indigenous individuals aged 15 years and older in Canada with a hearing disability reported somewhat or much worse mental health than before the COVID-19 pandemic. This statistic illustrates the percentage of indigenous people in Canada with long-term conditions or disabilities who reported a worsening of mental health since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

Supplementary notes
* Somewhat or much worse mental health.
This study presents findings for participants who identified as First Nations, Métis or Inuit, including single and multiple identities. Given the relatively small number of participants, it was not possible to report findings separately for First Nations people, Métis or Inuit or by geographic region. However, the geographic scope of this crowdsource initiative spans all provinces and territories.
