It is generally recommended that weighted estimation approaches be used when analyzing data from a long-form census microdata file. Since such data files are now available in the RDC's, there is a need to provide researchers there with more information about doing weighted estimation with these files. The purpose of this paper is to provide some of this information - in particular, how the weight variables were derived for the census microdata files and what weight should be used for different units of analysis. For the 1996, 2001 and 2006 censuses the same weight variable is appropriate regardless of whether people, families or households are being studied. For the 1991 census, recommendations are more complex: a different weight variable is required for households than for people and families, and additional restrictions apply to obtain the correct weight value for families.
Release date: 2012-10-25 - 2. Area-based methods to calculate hospitalization rates for the foreign-born population in Canada, 2005/2006 ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201200311693Geography: CanadaDescription:
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.

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.
Release date: 2012-04-18 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201200111633Geography: CanadaDescription:
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.

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.
