- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202600700001Description: Previous research has shown that Black adults in Canada experience higher cause-specific mortality and differential rates of diagnosis and hospitalization compared with White adults. These disparities may reflect underlying differences in access to health care. This study used pooled data from the annual Canadian Community Health Survey from 2015 to 2019 to assess whether inequalities in access to primary and pharmaceutical health care exist between Black and White adults in Canada and sought to identify how specific factors contribute to observed inequalities.Release date: 2026-07-15
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600400001Description: In 2021, the Canadian federal government committed over $27.2 billion in funding through bilateral agreements with the provinces and territories toward building the Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care system. Integral to these agreements were investments allocated by provinces and territories toward five foundational pillars of the Multilateral Early Learning and Child Care Framework: provision of accessible, affordable, inclusive, flexible and high-quality care. This study uses data from the 2024 Canadian Survey on the Provision of Child Care Services to examine the characteristics of child care centres in Canada during this period of policy reform, with an emphasis on elements of care reflective of the five pillars of the multilateral framework.Release date: 2026-04-22
- 3. Characteristics of home-based child care serving children aged 0 to 5 years in Canada, 2021 to 2022Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202500700002Description: Child care provided in home-based settings by non-relatives remains a prominent model of care in Canada. Home-based child care (sometimes called family child care) is provided in private residences where the provider lives and operates the service to typically mixed age groups of children and often the provider’s own children. This study provides a national overview of licensed and unlicensed home-based child care and providers caring for children aged 0 to 5 years in Canada in April 2022.Release date: 2025-07-23
- Articles and reports: 11-633-X2025001Description: Statistics Canada routinely collects information on functional health and related concepts. Recently, the Washington Group (WG) measure of disability was introduced to the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). The WG measure is used as a tool for developing internationally comparable data on disability. In alternate cycles of the CCHS, it replaces the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3), a generic preference-based measure of health-related quality of life, used to derive evaluative health measures common in population health and economic evaluations. To address resulting data gaps, this study provides an overview of the mapping process whereby the utility scores of the HUI3 were estimated from the WG disability measure. This detailed overview of instrument mapping includes qualitative approaches in addition to mapping through statistical estimation.Release date: 2025-02-03

In alternate cycles of the CCHS, it replaces the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3), a generic preference-based measure of health-related quality of life, used to derive evaluative health measures common in population health and economic evaluations. Since the WG measure is not preference-based, it is unable to derive these measures. To address resulting data gaps, this study provides the conclusions of a mapping process whereby the utility scores of the HUI3 were estimated from the WG disability measure. Following selection of preferred models, this study provides prediction equations used to estimate the HUI3 score and validates the results of the mapping process.Release date: 2025-01-15
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202401200004Description: In 2021, the federal government of Canada committed over $27.2 billion in funding through bilateral agreements with the provinces and territories towards building a Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care system. As part of these agreements, a multilateral workforce strategy was proposed in recognition of the central role of child care workers in providing high quality child care services, and the need to attract and retain qualified and committed individuals in the sector. This study fills information gaps related to the centre-based child care workforce providing care to children aged 0 to 5 years.Release date: 2024-12-19
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202400600006Description: This study presents an updated sociodemographic profile of children aged 0 to 14 years with affirmative responses largely based on parent reports to the questions on the 2021 Census long-form questionnaire about difficulties with activities of daily living.Release date: 2024-06-26
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202300300001Description: A significant increase in the use of child care for children aged 0 to 5 has occurred over the past several decades, in particular the use of centre-based care. The current study describes findings from the Canadian Survey on the Provision of Child Care Services 2022 providing a snapshot of centre-based child care services in Canada. The results provide a description of the characteristics of child care centres in April 2022, prior to the implementation of most of the federal and provincial/territorial bilateral agreements, as well as the negative impacts of COVID-19 on the provision of centre-based child care.Release date: 2023-03-22
- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202200300006Description:
This study presents a socio-demographic profile of children aged 0 to 14 years with affirmative responses to the DSQ filter questions on the 2016 Census. More specifically, the study examined the distributions of activity limitations by children’s age, sex, and family socioeconomic characteristics. The consistency of this profile with well-established patterns of child disability from the existing literature is discussed, and recommendations are made for research to further assess the suitability of the DSQ filter questions for generating an appropriate sampling frame for prospective child disability surveys.
