CDC’s New Mental Health Data Channel

The CDC has launched a new Public Health Data Channel offering a comprehensive look at mental health trends among U.S. youth and adults. Designed for public health professionals, the tool aggregates national and state-level data to inform strategies that improve mental well-being. Key findings include that 1 in 3 high school students report poor mental health, and 1 in 5 adults have been diagnosed with depression—yet 82% of adults say they receive needed emotional support.

This channel empowers communicators to address disparities and promote healthier environments where people live, learn, work, and play. Explore actionable data across life satisfaction, care access, connection, and crisis response. See the new tool here.
