The survey results also found that more than 50 per cent of female students in Ontario show signs of moderate to serious psychological distress.<\/p>\n<p>Other highlights from the 2017 report include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Technology and social media use have also increased. In total, 20 per cent of students spend five or more hours on social media a day, compared to 11 per cent in 2013.<\/li>\n<li>Nearly one-third (30 per cent) spent five or more hours a day, in their free time, on electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, computers and gaming consoles.<\/li>\n<li>Five per cent of secondary school students reported symptoms suggesting they had a serious problem with use of technology.<\/li>\n<li>Students were asked about concussions for the first time. A total of 36 per cent of students say they\u2019ve had a concussion in their lifetime, and 15 per cent \u2013 about 130,700 students \u2013 experienced a concussion in the past year.<\/li>\n<li>Nearly one-third said they wanted to talk to someone about their mental health, but did not know where to turn. Almost four in 10 said that they rarely or never talk to their parents about their problems or feelings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The 2017 OSDUHS, which surveyed 11,435 students, is Canada\u2019s longest-running study of mental health and substance use of Ontario students in grades 7 through 12.
