Method & caveats. "How would you describe your own mental health or emotional wellbeing at this time? Would you say it is — excellent, good, only fair or poor?" Question wording from the chart metadata (f9It9/8); only Excellent, not Excellent/Good. Annual published observations. The sourceUrl is the pinned Datawrapper CSV because the chart metadata's source-url is empty; pinned versions are retained for reproducibility and may lag the current chart. Breaks: none known (telephone throughout).
