8. Immigrants in Rural Canada Archived
Articles and reports: 21-006-X2002002
Geography: Canada
Description:
In 1996, 17% of Canada's total population were immigrants, and 88% of them were living in urban regions. The three provinces with the largest urban centres attracted most immigrants: 55% went to Ontario, 18% to British Columbia and 13% to Quebec, a pattern that has remained constant for immigrants who have arrived since 1961. The remaining 12% (or 580,000 people) were living in predominantly rural regions. They can be characterized by the period in which they arrived in Canada.
Recent and new immigrants were better educated than pre-1981 immigrants, particularly in terms of university education. But pre-1981 immigrants had the highest employment rate and were more likely to have professional service occupations than the Canadian-born. Visible minority immigrants fared worse, in socio-economic terms, than non-visible minority immigrants; these differences were more pronounced in predominantly rural regions. The profiles of immigrants in predominantly rural regions were similar to those in predominantly urban regions. However, the few immigrants who resided in rural northern regions had a very different and more favourable profile.

9. Profile of Languages in Canada: English, French and Many Others, 2001 Census Archived
Articles and reports: 96F0030X2001005
Geography: Canada
Description:
This theme deals with Canadians'mother tongue and language spoken at home, as well as with their knowledge of English and French. Data from the 2001 Census show, despite an increasingly multilingual Canadian society, that linguistic duality persists. In addition, the theme covers the evolution of English-French bilingualism in the country, and does this for each of the groups that have either English, French or some language other than English or French, as their mother tongue. All of the analyses are done at the province' territory level; some of them are also done at the level of the census metropolitan area.
This series includes a number of comprehensive articles that supplement the day-of-release information launched through The Daily. These catalogued articles provide an analytical perspective on the 2001 Census release topics. The number and length of these articles vary for each census release and are based on the 21 census release topics disseminated over 8 major release dates.
More focused articles were disseminated as major releases in The Dailyin the weeks following the official release of the data. Other more specialized articles were also announced in The Daily. The articles in the 2001 Census Analysis Series are available free of charge via the Internet.

61. Testing the mode effects in the Finnish consumer survey Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016233
Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
From January 2000, the data collection method of the Finnish Consumer Survey was changed from a Labour Force Survey panel design mode to an independent survey. All interviews are now carried out centrally from Statistics Finland's Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) Centre. There have been suggestions that the new survey mode has been influencing the respondents' answers. This paper analyses the extent of obvious changes in the results of the Finnish Consumer Survey. This is accomplished with the help of a pilot survey. Furthermore, this paper studies the interviewer's role in the data collection process. The analysis is based on cross-tabulations, chi-square tests and multinomial logit models. It shows that the new survey method produces more optimistic estimations and expectations concerning economic matters than the old method did.

62. Improving measures of crime: sample adjustments to police crime data Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016235
Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
Police records collected by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program are the leading source of national crime statistics. Recently, audits to correct UCR records have raised concerns as to how to handle the errors discovered in these files. Concerns centre around the methodology used to detect errors and the procedures used to correct errors once they have been discovered. This paper explores these concerns, focusing on sampling methodology, establishment of a statistical-adjustment factor, and alternative solutions. The paper distinguishes the difference between sample adjustment and sample estimates of an agency's data, and recommends sample adjustment as the most accurate way of dealing with errors.

63. Evaluating the reasonableness of data: using cross ratios and chi-square measures Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016236
Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program has devoted a considerable amount of resources in a continuous effort to improve the quality of its data. In this paper, the authors introduce and discuss the use of the cross-ratios and chi-square measures to evaluate the rationality of the data. The UCR data is used to empirically illustrate this approach.

64. Data detectives: uncovering systematic errors Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016237
Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
Secondary users of health information often assume that administrative data provides a relatively sound basis for making important planning and policy decisions. If errors are evenly or randomly distributed, this assumption may have little impact on these decisions. However, when information sources contain systematic errors, or when systematic errors are introduced during the creation of master files, this assumption can be damaging.
The most common systematic errors involve underreporting activities for a specific population; inaccurate re-coding of spatial information; and differences in data entry protocols, which have raised questions about the consistency of data submitted by different tracking agencies. The Central East Health Information Partnership (CEHIP) has identified a number of systematic errors in administrative databases and has documented many of these in reports distributed to partner organizations.
This paper describes how some of these errors were identified and notes the processes that give rise to the loss of data integrity. The conclusion addresses some of the impacts these problems have for health planners, program managers and policy makers.

65. An information-rich environment: linked-record systems and data quality in Canada Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016238
Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
Research programs building on population-based, longitudinal administrative data and record-linkage techniques are found in England, Scotland, the United States (the Mayo Clinic), Western Australia and Canada. These systems can markedly expand both the methodological and the substantive research in health and health care.
This paper summarizes published, Canadian data quality studies regarding registries, hospital discharges, prescription drugs, and physician claims. It makes suggestions for improving registries, facilitating record linkage and expanding research into social epidemiology. New trends in case identification and health status measurement using administrative data have also been noted. And the differing needs for data quality research in each province have been highlighted.

66. Still rolling: Leslie Kish's "rolling samples" and the American Community Survey Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016241
Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
Leslie Kish long advocated the use of the "rolling sample" design. With non-overlapping, monthly panels that can be cumulated over different lengths of time for domains of different sizes, the rolling sample design enables a single survey to serve multiple purposes. The Census Bureau's new American Community Survey uses such a rolling sample design with annual averages to measure change at the state level, and three-year or five-year moving averages to describe progressively smaller domains. This paper traces Kish's influence on the development of the American Community Survey, and discusses some practical methodological issues that had to be addressed during the implementation of the design.

67. Leslie Kish: development of statistics internationally Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016242
Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
"Remembering Leslie Kish" provides us with a personal view of his many contributions to the international development of statistics. One of the elements that made his contributions so special and effective was the "Kish approach". The characteristic features of this approach include: identifying what is important; formulating and answering practical questions; seeking patterns and frameworks; and above all, persisting in the promotion of good ideas. Areas in which his technical contributions have made the most impact on practical survey work in developing countries have been identified. A unique aspect of Leslie's contribution is the motivation he created for the development of a world-wide community of survey samplers.

68. Recent developments in electronic data collection at the U. S. Census Bureau Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016243
Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
Since 1996, the Census Bureau has been creating Web Computerized Self-Administered Questionnaires (CSAQs). These electronic questionnaires have some data quality advantages over paper questionnaires such as the availability of online help; pre-loaded data; the use of interactive edits (which allows respondents to correct their responses as they are entered); and, for establishment surveys, the ability to import data from spreadsheets. This paper provides an overview of the Census Bureau's Web CSAQs. Each of the Web CSAQ design features promoting data quality are explained, as well as the features that impose data quality obstacles. Finally, some recent, empirical, data quality results from both establishment and household surveys are presented.

69. Statistics New Zealand: recent developments in electronic data collection Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016244
Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
Over the past few years, Statistics New Zealand (SNZ) has experienced an increase in the volume of business survey data supplied by e-mail. However, up until now, SNZ has not had the business processes available to support electronic collection in a way that meets both the needs of SNZ and data suppliers. To this end, SNZ has invested a lot of effort over the last year in investigating how best to approach the problems and opportunities presented by electronic data collection. This paper outlines SNZ's plans to move the e-mail supplied data to a secure lodgement facility and the future development of an internet-based data collection system. It also presents a case study of the Monthly Retail Trade Survey data currently supplied by e-mail. This case study illustrates some of the benefits of electronic data, but also examines some of the costs to the organization and the data quality problems encountered. It also highlights the need to consider the data collection methodology within the wider context of the total survey cycle.

70. Electronic data reporting - Recent developments at the Australian Bureau of Statistics Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016245
Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
This paper summarizes recent Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) methodological developments and other experiences with electronic data reporting (EDR). It deals particularly with the part of EDR loosely defined as 'e-forms', or screen-based direct collection instruments, where the respondent manually enters all or most of the data. In this context, the paper covers recent ABS experiences and current work, but does not revisit the historical EDR work or cover other developments in Australia outside the ABS.
