Most ontarians are affected either directly or indirectly. 1/5 people have mental health problem or addiction 5/5 people are effected by mental health: we all have mental health. Yll = years of life lost = n + l: n = number of deaths due to cause for a given age and sex, l = standard loss function in years. Yerf = years of related functioning = i + d + sw: i = incident cases casuse, health, state, age, sex, d = avg duration, sw = severity weight associated with health state. Haly = yll + yerf: haly: measures future healthy years of life lost due to each incident case of disease in an average year, it is thus an incidence-based measure rather than a prevalence based measure. Same or diff in comparison to physical health: same. Use equations = years lots and qol: different. Starting point is shifted: loss of health state vs.
