The present study examined the prevalence and sociodemographic profile of Canadians with social anxiety disorder using data from the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 1.2 (N = 36,984). Social anxiety disorder was assessed using the World Mental Health Composite International Diagnostic Interview and sociodemographic variables were explored by gender. Results suggested significant gender differences for prevalence, comorbid depression, marital status, living arrangements, employment status in the past 12 months, and self-reported mental health status. These observations suggest that individuals with social anxiety disorder experience life disruption, and that of all socially anxious respondents, females may be experiencing more distress than males.
本研究使用加拿大社区健康调查周期 1.2（N=36984）的数据，调查了加拿大社交焦虑障碍患者的流行率和社会人口统计学特征。社交焦虑障碍使用世界心理健康综合国际诊断访谈进行评估，社会人口统计学变量按性别进行探讨。结果表明，在流行率、共病抑郁、婚姻状况、生活安排、过去 12 个月的就业状况以及自我报告的心理健康状况方面，存在显著的性别差异。这些观察结果表明，社交焦虑障碍患者的生活受到干扰，在所有社交焦虑的受访者中，女性可能比男性经历更多的痛苦。
