Correlates of psychological distress amongst adult Inuit in Nunavik, northern Québec = Déterminants facteurs de la détresse psychologique entre les Inuits adultes à Nunavik, Nord du Québec
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objectives. Inuit in Nunavik (Northern Quebec) have high rates of suicide among youth in recent years. Suicide may be a manifestation of other co-existing mental health problems. This study examined correlates of psychological distress to identify factors that may be targeted for preventive interventions. Method. Potential correlates of distress were identified through a literature review and secondary analysis of the 1992 Sante Quebec Health Survey of Inuit, in which data was collected from 284 households in fourteen villages (N=584). Bivariate analysis was followed by multiple linear regression to identify independent contributors. Results. Correlates of psychological distress varied by age and gender strata and included sociodemographic characteristics, alcohol/solvent use, social support, significant life events, and country food consumption. Conclusion. In addition to well-established correlates of distress, there were some specific risk and protective factors which varied by age and gender. Further research is required to clarify causal pathways and identify feasible interventions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
