My team mates and I wish to focus on mental health resources and stigma for our Big Data course project, and we could use some help locating data sources. Here’s the rundown:
Project Objective: Our research aims to collect and analyze data related to mental health resources and the evolving stigma around mental health, particularly on social media. We plan to compare trends over the past two decades, both globally and within North America if the global data is limited.
Data Needed: To make this project a reality, we require data on the following:
Availability of mental health facilities across countries.
Information on mental health programs in various nations.
Data regarding non-governmental organizations (NGOs) dedicated to mental health awareness globally.
The percentage of utilization of mental health facilities and programs in each region.
We initially tried to access data from the World Health Organization (WHO) through their Project Atlas Report (https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240036703 ), but our efforts hit a roadblock. We’ve reached out to WHO, although we’re uncertain if they’ll share this information.
If anyone knows of alternative data sources or has any tips on where to find similar datasets, your input would be incredibly valuable. We’re committed to advancing our understanding of mental health resources and stigma, and your assistance can make a real difference in our research. Thanks in advance! 📈ðŸ§
