A new Analysis in Brief titled The Role of Social Support in Reducing Psychological Distress [3] has been released by the Canadian Population Health Initiative (CPHI) of the Canadian Institute for Health Information [4] (CIHI).
This study demonstrates that social support is an important factor in promoting the transition from high levels to lower levels of distress two years later; it also shows that the significant supports are different for men and women. For women, regular opportunities to interact and talk with people showed a reduction in distress, whereas for men, being married was connected to improvements in levels of distress.
