Data Assumption: Alberta Mental Health Service Capacity and Demand Simulation, 2023-2024

19.7 KB of simulation data evaluating Alberta's mental health system response to COVID-19. The data was extracted from the 2023–2024 Alberta Mental Health and Addiction Annual Report by author Kola Adegoke and last updated in March 2026. It models directional changes in help-seeking demand and service capacity under a zero-copayment design.

Use Cases

• Simulating demand and supply equilibrium for mental health services based on reported program delivery outputs.
• Evaluating the impact of zero-copayment policies on service uptake using a calibrated model.
• Analyzing capacity constraints and unmet demand in public health systems based on reported service volumes.

Strengths

• Data is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open sharing and adaptation.
• Simulation is calibrated to empirically reported trends from an official annual report.
• File size is 19.7 KB, indicating a focused and manageable dataset.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• The dataset is tiny (19.7 KB), indicating very limited scope and likely a summary or model output.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
