Abstract
Results of the Canberra Mental Health Survey, which surveyed 1 per cent of the population of Canberra, indicate that psychiatric impairment is negatively correlated with socio‐economic status for adults. No relationship occurs, however, between socio‐economic status and ‘happiness in life’ or social role functioning. The high degree of psychiatric impairment in the low socio‐economic status groups is a common finding in overseas studies but has not previously been reported in Australia. Variables which may account for the finding include the affluence of Canberra in general and the relatively small proportion of low socio‐economic status groups in Canberra.
