  • 1. Comparison of waist circumference using the World Health Organization and National Institutes of Health protocols Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201200311707
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This study compares waist circumference measured using World Health Organization and National Institutes of Health protocols to determine if the results differ significantly, and whether equations can be developed to allow comparison between waist circumference taken at the two different measurement sites.

    Release date: 2012-09-20
  • 2. Area-based methods to calculate hospitalization rates for the foreign-born population in Canada, 2005/2006 Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201200311693
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This study describes an area-based method of calculating standardized, comparable hospitalization rates for areas with varying concentrations of foreign-born, at national and subnational levels.

    Release date: 2012-07-18
  • 3. Physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep in Canadian children: Parent-report versus direct measures and relative associations with health risk Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201200211648
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This analysis uses information from the 2007 to 2009 Canadian Health Measures Survey to examine moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep duration in children aged 6 to 11. The objective was to compare and contrast findings from these data collection methods and explore differences in their associations with health markers in children.

  • 4. Geozones: An area-based method for analysis of health outcomes Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201200111633
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This paper explains the methodology for creating Geozones, which are area-based thresholds of population characteristics derived from census data, which can be used in the analysis of social or economic differences in health and health service utilization.

    Release date: 2012-03-21
  • 5. Immigrant Earnings Growth: Selection Bias or Real Progress? Archived
    Articles and reports: 11F0019M2012340
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This paper studies the effect of selective attrition on estimates of immigrant earnings growth based on repeated cross-sectional data in Canada. Longitudinal tax data linked to immigrant landing records are used in order to estimate the change in immigrant earnings and the immigrant-Canadian-born earnings gap. The results are compared with those from repeated cross-sectional data. This approach eliminates differences in results that may stem from variation in collection modes and procedures across datasets.

  • 6. Assessment of validity of self-reported smoking status Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X201200111625
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This study compares estimates of the prevalence of cigarette smoking based on self-report with estimates based on urinary cotinine concentrations. The data are from the 2007 to 2009 Canadian Health Measures Survey, which included self-reported smoking status and the first nationally representative measures of urinary cotinine.

How do I use the filters and the search box?

  • You can initiate a search by entering keywords or selecting filters (e.g., under Subject, Geography, etc.) on the left side of the page.

  • You can delete some or all of the keywords from your search string.

  • Quotes around keywords limit the search to a specific phrase.

    • For example, “labour force survey” will limit results to products containing this phrase.

  • Use “or” between keywords to obtain results that contain one or more search terms.

    • For example, labour or­ force or survey will limit results to products containing any or all of these words.

How does the search work?

  • This search looks for results that have your query term in the title, description, subject, geography, product number or other information about the product.

    • For example, when searching the term ‘Diseases’, all results with the word ‘Diseases’ in the title, description or tagged the subject appear.

  • The text within an article or publication are not searched. For full text searching of articles, use the site search.
