- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202600300002Description: The accurate monitoring of population mental health requires repeated assessments using valid and reliable measures. The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) and its short form (SWEMWBS) are widely used positive mental health (PMH) measures. This study used cross-sectional data from the 2024 Canadian Community Health Survey – Rapid Response on Sleep Quality and Positive Mental Health to test the validity of the WEMWBS and the SWEMWBS among Canadian adults.Release date: 2026-03-18
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202600200001Description: Accurate and ongoing assessments of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (SED) are needed to support public health surveillance, evaluate interventions, and advance the understanding of how movement behaviours relate to health. After six cycles of data collection (2007 to 2019) using the Actical (AC) accelerometer, the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) transitioned to the ActiGraph wGT3X-BT (AG). The AC and AG accelerometers differ technically and mechanically in how they measure movement behaviour outcomes such as SED, light PA, moderate-to-vigorous PA, and step counts. This study compares AC and AG accelerometer estimates of these movement behaviour outcomes, to determine whether these data are comparable across CHMS cycles.Release date: 2026-02-18
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400500002Description: The availability of measures to operationalize allostatic load—the cumulative toll on the body of responding to stressor demands—in population health surveys may differ across years or surveys, hampering analyses on the entire sampled population. In this study, the impacts of variable selection and calculation method were evaluated to generate an allostatic load index applicable across all cycles of the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS). CHMS data were used to compare individual and population-level changes in scores for allostatic load indexes in which other commonly used measures were substituted for waist-to-hip ratio. Associations between the various constructs and indicators of socioeconomic position were then assessed to evaluate whether relationships were maintained across indexes.Release date: 2024-05-15
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202300200003Description: Utility scores are an important tool for evaluating health-related quality of life. Utility score norms have been published for Canadian adults, but no nationally representative utility score norms are available for non-adults. Using Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3) data from two recent cycles of the Canadian Health Measures Survey (i.e., 2016-2017 and 2018-2019), this is the first study to provide utility score norms for children aged 6 to 11 years and adolescents aged 12 to 17 years.Release date: 2023-02-15
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202201100003Description:
The Statistics Canada Biobank is a valuable source of nationally representative health information. It contains biospecimens collected from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) and the Canadian COVID-19 Antibody and Health Survey (CCAHS). This data resource profile aims to provide an overview of the Statistics Canada Biobank to inform researchers and data users about the program and how it can be used as a resource for the advancement of health-related research.
Release date: 2022-11-16 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X202100700001Description: The family environment is an important influence on the health and behaviours of children. Few large-scale datasets include detailed and objectively measured health data about multiple individuals from the same family who are living in the same household. The Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) is a repeating, cross-sectional survey that selects two members of a household-a child and a randomly selected older member of the household aged 12 to 79 years-with at least one child aged 3 to 11 years in residence. These paired respondent records, available in the CHMS relationship files, provide unique opportunities to researchers interested in examining associations between two members of the same household for health behaviours and outcomes. This paper highlights the unique features, recommendations for use and research potential of paired data in the CHMS relationship files.Release date: 2021-07-21
- 7. Chapter 1: Health of youth in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 42-28-0001202100100001Description:
Using Statistics Canada data, this chapter describes the health of Canadian youth, defined as those aged 15 to 30 years old. Indicators of physical and mental health and substance use are presented to highlight the health of young Canadians. Comparisons with older Canadians and trends mostly over the last 20 years are provided for context. When possible, indicators are also examined by sex, ethnicity and household income.
Release date: 2021-02-01 - Articles and reports: 11-637-X202000100003Description: As the third goal outlined in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Canada and other UN member states have committed to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages by 2030. This 2020 infographic provides an overview of indicators underlying the third Sustainable Development Goal in support of Good Health and Well-being, and the statistics and data sources used to monitor and report on this goal in Canada.Release date: 2020-10-20
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202000800002Description: The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the parent-rated Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire with a nationally representative sample of Canadian children and adolescents.Release date: 2020-08-19
