MARITAL STATUS AND HOUSEHOLD TYPE
Approximately 15.7% of victims who were not in a registered marriage or de facto relationship had a disability due to a mental health condition. This was double the proportion (7.5%) of victims that were married and had a disability due to a mental health condition. Both married and unmarried victims were more likely to have a disability due to a mental health condition (7.5% and 15.7%) than married and unmarried persons that were not victims (3.9% and 8.5% respectively).
The survey found that people residing in non-family households were nearly twice as likely to have a disability due to a mental health condition (10.1%) as persons residing in family households (5.7%). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of disability due to a mental health condition between victims living in family households and victims living in non-family households (10.5% and 15.3% respectively). In terms of comparing victims and non-victims, victims living in family and non-family households (10.5% and 15.3% respectively) were both more likely to have a disability due to a mental health condition than non-victims living in family and non-family households (4.8% and 8.9% respectively).
