42. The feasibility of establishing correction factors to adjust self-reported estimates of obesity Archived
Articles and reports: 82-003-X200800310680
Geography: Canada

This study examines the feasibility of developing correction factors to adjust self-reported measures of body mass index to more closely approximate measured values. Data are from the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey, in which respondents were asked to report their height and weight, and were subsequently measured.

43. 2007 General Social Survey report: The retirement plans and expectations of older workers Archived
Articles and reports: 11-008-X200800210666
Geography: Canada
Description:
After many years of public discussion about Canada's aging population, the leading edge of the baby boom generation is now on the cusp of retirement. Focusing on Canadians aged 45 to 59, this article examines the age at which individuals intend to retire, the certainty of their plans, and their expectations regarding their retirement income. Evidence from the 2007 General Social Survey is used to show how retirement plans and expectations are related to demographic, employment and financial characteristics.

44. 2007 General Social Survey Report: The retirement puzzle: Sorting the pieces Archived
Articles and reports: 11-008-X200800210667
Geography: Canada
Description:
Do Canadians have the information they need to plan for retirement? Drawing on data from the 2007 General Social survey, this article examines the "informational resources" of Canadians aged 45 to 59. While most individuals receive financial advice, understand the basic structure of their pension, and say they understand Canada's public retirement income programs, significant proportions do not. The characteristics associated with differences in this regard are examined.

Articles and reports: 82-003-X200800210564
Geography: Canada
Description:
This article compares associations between body mass index categories based on self-reported versus measured data with selected health conditions.

The analysis is based on 4,567 respondents to the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey, who provided self-reported values for height and weight and were then measured.
Release date: 2008-05-14

Results are based on the Canadian Community Health Survey, combined 2003 and 2005 data.
Release date: 2008-03-19
50. Combining information from two surveys to improve on analyses of self-reported data in estimating measures of health Archived
Articles and reports: 11-522-X200600110408
Description:
Despite advances that have improved the health of the United States population, disparities in health remain among various racial/ethnic and socio-economic groups. Common data sources for assessing the health of a population of interest include large-scale surveys that often pose questions requiring a self-report, such as, "Has a doctor or other health professional ever told you that you have health condition of interest?" Answers to such questions might not always reflect the true prevalences of health conditions (for example, if a respondent does not have access to a doctor or other health professional). Similarly, self-reported data on quantities such as height and weight might be subject to reporting errors. Such "measurement error" in health data could affect inferences about measures of health and health disparities. In this work, we fit measurement-error models to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which asks self-report questions during an interview component and also obtains physical measurements during an examination component. We then develop methods for using the fitted models to improve on analyses of self-reported data from another survey that does not include an examination component. The methods, which involve multiply imputing examination-based data values for the survey that has only self-reported data, are applied to the National Health Interview Survey in examples involving diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. Preliminary results suggest that the adjustments for measurement error can result in non-negligible changes in estimates of measures of health.

1. Sociodemographic differences in recreational screen time before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400500001
Description: Over the last several years, recreational screen time has been increasing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, recreational screen time rose among Canadian youth and adults, and those who increased screen time had poorer self-reported mental health. Using data from the 2017, 2018, and 2021 Canadian Community Health Survey, the objective of this study was to compare recreational screen time behaviours before (2018) and during (2021) the pandemic, looking at patterns by sociodemographic subgroups of the Canadian population.

2. Exploring the use of experimental small area estimates to examine the relationship between individual-level and area-level community belonging and self-rated health
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400300001
Description: As the importance of subjective well-being to health continues to garner increasing attention from researchers and policy makers, community belonging has emerged as a potential population health target that has been linked to several self-rated measures of health and well-being in Canada. This study assessed novel area-level community belonging measures derived using small area estimation and examined associations with individual-level measures of community belonging and self-rated health.

3. Where do 15- to -17-year-olds in Canada get their sexual health information?
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400100001
Description: Sexual health education delivered in school, provided by parents, or provided by other formal sources has been associated with increased rates of condom use and improvements in many other sexual risk behaviours. Friends and the internet are other information sources, although quality and accuracy of information are not always as high. The objective of this study is to update Canadian information about sources of sex education self-reported by adolescents and the related resource of having an adult to talk with about puberty and sexual health. Data from the 2019 Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth were used to examine the sources typically used to obtain sexual health information by 15- to 17-year-olds, as well as the prevalence and characteristics of adolescents reporting not having an adult to talk with about sexual health and puberty.

4. Self-reported concussions in Canada: A cross-sectional study
Articles and reports: 82-003-X202300600002
Description: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a major public health concern impacting the lives of many Canadians. Among all TBIs, concussions are the most common. However, to date, the incidence of concussions among the Canadian population has remained unknown. To address this data surveillance gap, this study presents national estimates on the percentage of Canadians aged 12 years or older (excluding those living in the territories) who sustained one or more concussions in 2019.
