This indicator shows the percentage of adults who stated that their mental health, which includes stress, depression, and problems with emotions, was not good for 14 or more of the past 30 days.

Technical note: These estimates are produced from survey data and created using a complex statistical model. It is not appropriate to use this data for tracking/evaluation purposes, as the data are collected using sophisticated sampling techniques that can make them difficult to use for small geographic areas and population subgroups without carefully applying the correct statistical techniques. Modeled estimates are also not particularly good at incorporating the effects of local conditions, such as health promotion policies.
