Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This chapter reviews the history of mental health care in Canada, from an institutional era to the current version of community care. Ongoing problems such as the overrepresentation of the mentally ill among the homeless and criminal-justice-involved populations are highlighted. It is noted that mental health is underfunded relative to other areas of health care, with most of the funding and governance being borne by the provinces because of the constitutional division of powers in Canada. There is discussion of the lack of access to evidence-based mental health interventions including supported housing models such as Housing First. It is noted that mental health care continues to be biomedical in orientation, due in part to the fact that only hospital and physician services are covered by provincial medical service plans, this despite the evidence base and potential cost-effectiveness of, and demand for, psychological treatments.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
