ONTARIO WIDE STUDY | AUG 1st, 2024
Methodology
This study was conducted from July 30th 2024 to July 31st 2024, among a sample of 2027 respondents who are residents of Ontario and are members of Maru Blue’s online panel. For comparison purposes, a probability sample of a similar size would have a margin of error of +/- 2%, 19 times out of 20.
Where and how is the study conducted?
The study included respondents from an online panel of eligible voters in Ontario, 18 years old and older. The sample is weighted to regional, age and gender demographics, as per Statistics Canada.

The two-day fielding window is interesting—that's a pretty tight turnaround for a sample of 2,000 people, especially on a topic as layered as mental health and addictions. I'd love to see the regional breakdowns though, since rural vs. urban access to services can skew perceptions so much. Speaking of visual breakdowns, this reminds me of how a low quality image maker can accidentally be useful for anonymizing sensitive data visuals before sharing them publicly—sometimes blurring things out is the point. Anyway, solid methodology transparency here, wish more polls did this.
Interesting that the weighting and margin of error are laid out so clearly here—that transparency makes the Ontario-wide findings on mental health and addictions much easier to trust. I’ve been digging into similar data for a policy piece, and this timing (July 2024) is perfect for comparing against pre-election baselines. Check out https://vo3-ai.net

Interesting that this was fielded in just two days — that’s a tight window for capturing something as nuanced as mental health and addictions. I’d love to see how the weighting adjusted for regional differences across Ontario, especially rural vs. urban. I’ve been using https://arcadeai.pro
