Med J Aust. 1979 Aug 25;2(4):207-9. doi: 10.5694/j.1326-5377.1979.tb142050.x.

Abstract

Secondary analysis of the Canberra Mental Health Survey (adult sample) extends the results of earlier analysis. New relationships between independent and dependent variables are revealed. Marital status previously not associated with mental health proves important when sex and socioeconomic status are controlled. Participation in organizations is strongly associated with social variables and mental health adjustment, suggesting explanations of mental health in relation to social support.
