Further...as much as I'd like to believe be the results, this is likely a bogus poll:
-the commissioning party was U.K. Insurer Avivia, which couched these results in terms of mental health, ie this is a self-serving study, likely designed to get the NIH to spend more on mental health to the benefit of Avivia.
-Avivia didn't conduct the survey. A firm called Censuswide has a fixed panel of poll respondents - sort of a pre-selected "random" sample (problematic elects in my view are in bold):
Our panel has over 69,000 UK members. The panel was originally recruited via sampling specialists and since has grown organically. Panelists can opt to answer all surveys - but will be filtered out if a survey is not relevant to them. Panelists are also invited to participate in surveys via a newsletter. All surveys are incentivised by a prize draw, which will vary in value depending on the survey length.
correction.....I would NOT generalize about the US on the basis of this “study.”
Thanks for the update/correction. I confess I didn’t dig deep in the Avivia survey/study.
