Abstract: Trust in institutions such as the government is lower in the context of mental health problems and socio-economic disadvantage. However, the roles of structural inequality, interpersonal factors, and mental health on institutional trust remain unclear. This study aimed to examine the associations of social and mental health factors, from early life to adulthood, with institutional trust.
