  • 31. Weekly work hours and health-related behaviours in full-time students Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X20040048040
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Using cross-sectional data from the 2003 Canadian Community Health Survey, this study examines whether the number of hours worked by full-time students aged 15 to 17 is associated with smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical activity. As well, longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey were used to determine if work hours are related to the initiation of smoking and alcohol consumption, and to changes in physical activity over a two-year period.

  • 32. Intergenerational Impact of Immigrants' Selection and Assimilation on Health Outcomes of Children Archived
    Articles and reports: 11F0019M2005247
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This study undertakes three comparisons using Cycle 2 (1996-97) data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY) in Canada. First, the study compares the health outcomes of children of the Native-born Canadian (NBC) group with those of the immigrant group in general. Differences are also investigated within the three immigrant sub-groups: the American immigrant group, the European immigrant group and Asian immigrant group. Second, this study tests the hypothesis that the children of any immigrant group in Canada would have a higher level of health outcomes for the same level of resources. Third, the study examines the association of time of residency of immigrants in different groups and the health outcomes of their children. An immigrant family is defined as one in which at least one of the parents is foreign-born. Health outcomes are measured by the PMK's (person most knowledgeable about the child) assessment of the child's health. Ordered logit models are employed for estimation. The children selected for analysis are 4 to 13 years of age.

    The NLSCY data suggest that the health outcomes of children in the immigrant families in general are similar to that in the NBC group. However, the health outcomes of the Asian immigrant group are slightly lower and those of the American immigrant group are markedly better. Except for the American immigrant group, there is evidence that the children of any other immigrant group would have lower health status for the same level of resources. Decomposition results indicate that a higher level of observable and unobservable resources is responsible for markedly better outcomes for the American immigrant group; while a lower level of observable and unobservable resources is responsible for the lower level of outcomes for the Asian immigrant group. On the other hand, health outcomes are higher for the European immigrant group than for the NBC group when variation in resources is considered, while lower when variation in productivity coefficients is examined. Finally, there is statistical evidence that the health status of children of immigrant families would improve with the time of residency of immigrant parents, if it were lower initially. The findings of the study indicate that present health outcomes of children in the immigrant families, on average, are not a great concern. However, those of the Asian immigrant group may be a concern.

  • 33. Passengers of intoxicated drivers Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X20040027788
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    In 2000-2001, 4% of people aged 12 or older reported being in a vehicle driven by someone who had too much to drink. The likelihood of riding with an intoxicated driver was highest at ages 15 to 29. Close to two-thirds of licensed drivers aged 16 or older reported "always" arranging for a designated driver when going to a place where alcohol would be served.

  • 37. Health Status and Behaviours of Canada's Youth: A Rural-Urban Comparison Archived
    Articles and reports: 21-006-X2003003
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This study examines the health status of Canadian youth (ages 12 to 17) living in the largest metropolitan centres with those living in the northern regions. Information on whether health risk behaviours of urban youth are different from those of rural youth can assist families, policy-makers and local communities to target policies, programs and services at an appropriate geographic level. This analysis can also help to support claims made about youth behaviours or alternatively to dispel myths.
