加拿大人,特别是年青成年人,自该流行病以来,饮酒越来越多,心理健康和药物使用也更加糟糕,据2025年报告。 Canadians, especially young adults, are drinking more and facing worse mental health and substance use since the pandemic, per a 2025 report.

根据2025年加拿大卫生部长理事会的一份报告,自2019年以来,每天饮酒、饮酒狂欢和酗酒成瘾的人数有所增加。 Canadians are drinking more frequently and in riskier ways than before the pandemic, with increases in daily drinking, binge drinking, and alcohol dependence since 2019, according to a 2025 CAMH report. 虽然酒精使用总量略有下降,但饮酒者更经常消费,这与心理压力的加剧有关——对严重痛苦的中度压力增加了一倍多,达到36.7%,心理健康状况很差,现在接近30%。 Though overall alcohol use declined slightly, those who drink are consuming more often, linked to rising psychological distress—moderate to serious distress more than doubled to 36.7%—and poor mental health, now at nearly 30%. 自杀性想法上升到6.4%,非医用类阿片使用量几乎增加了三倍。 Suicidal ideation rose to 6.4%, and non-medical opioid use nearly tripled. 19至29岁的青年成年人的饮酒和依赖风险最高,而男子更可能从事危险行为,而妇女报告心理健康挣扎程度较高。 Young adults aged 19 to 29 showed the highest rates of risky drinking and dependence, while men were more likely to engage in hazardous behaviors and women reported higher mental health struggles. 研究结果表明,大流行病时代对药物使用和心理健康产生持久影响。 The findings suggest lasting pandemic-era impacts on substance use and mental health.
