- Articles and reports: 82-003-X200800410703Geography: CanadaDescription:
Data from 16,190 respondents to the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey - Nutrition were used to estimate under-reporting of food intake for the population aged 12 or older in the 10 provinces.
Release date: 2008-10-15 - 42. The feasibility of establishing correction factors to adjust self-reported estimates of obesity ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X200800310680Geography: CanadaDescription:
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.
Release date: 2008-09-17 - 43. 2007 General Social Survey report: The retirement plans and expectations of older workers ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X200800210666Geography: CanadaDescription:
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.
Release date: 2008-09-09 - Articles and reports: 11-008-X200800210667Geography: CanadaDescription:
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.
Release date: 2008-09-09 - 45. Sedentary behaviour and obesity ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X200800210599Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines sedentary behaviours (television viewing, computer use and reading) in relation to obesity among Canadian adults aged 20 to 64 years.
Release date: 2008-06-18 - 46. Effects of measurement on obesity and morbidity ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X200800210564Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article compares associations between body mass index categories based on self-reported versus measured data with selected health conditions. The goal is to determine if the misclassification resulting from the use of self-reported data alters associations between excess weight and these health conditions. The analysis is based on 2,667 respondents aged 40 or older from the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey.
Release date: 2008-05-14 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X200800210569Geography: CanadaDescription:
Based on a representative sample of the Canadian population, this article quantifies the bias resulting from the use of self-reported rather than directly measured height, weight and body mass index. 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 - 48. Community belonging and self-perceived health ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X200800210552Geography: CanadaDescription:
With data from the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey, this article compares rates of community belonging at the provincial or territorial and health region levels. Associations between community belonging and mental and general health are examined.
Release date: 2008-04-16 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X200800110532Geography: CanadaDescription: This article examines whether consultations with health care providers, not having a regular doctor, receipt of preventive screening tests, and unmet health care needs vary by sexual identity for Canadians aged 18 to 59. 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 ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X200600110408Description:
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.

- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400500001Description: 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.Release date: 2024-05-15
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400300001Description: 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.Release date: 2024-03-20
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400100001Description: 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.Release date: 2024-01-17
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202300600002Description: 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.Release date: 2023-06-21
