- 1. Induced Abortion Statistics ArchivedTable: 82-223-XDescription:
This product provides annual statistics on induced abortions performed in Canada on Canadian and non-Canadian residents. Where applicable, data on induced abortions performed on Canadian women in selected American states are also provided.
Counts, rates per 1,000 women and ratios per 100 live births of induced abortions at the national, provincial and territorial levels are provided. Certain tables indicate the number of abortions performed in a hospital or in a clinic setting. Other tables indicate the counts, rates and ratios per 100 live births of induced abortions across age groups.
Some tables provide data back to 1970, while others provide data back to 1974. These tables are updated annually to include the most current data year available. The data source for these tables is the Therapeutic Abortions Survey.
Release date: 2008-05-21 - 2. Learning the unique and peculiar challenges of direct health measures surveys: the Canadian experience ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X200600110412Description:
The Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) represents Statistics Canada's first health survey employing a comprehensive battery of direct physical measurements of health. The CHMS will be collecting directly measured health data on a representative sample of 5000 Canadians aged 6 to 79 in 2007 to 2009. After a comprehensive in-home health interview, respondents report to a mobile examination centre where direct health measures are performed. Measures include fitness tests, anthropometry, objective physical activity monitoring, spirometry, blood pressure measurements, oral health measures and blood and urine sampling. Blood and urine are analyzed for measures of chronic disease, infectious disease, nutritional indicators and environmental biomarkers. This survey has many unique and peculiar challenges rarely experienced by most Statistics Canada surveys; some of these challenges are described in this paper. The data collected through the CHMS is unique and represents a valuable health surveillance and research resource for Canada.
Release date: 2008-03-17 - 3. The U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey: what forty years of experience has taught us ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X200600110413Description:
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) has been conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics for over forty years. The survey collects information on the health and nutritional status of the United States population using in-person interviews and standardized physical examinations conducted in mobile examination centers. During the course of these forty years, numerous lessons have been learned about the conduct of a survey using direct physical measures. Examples of these "lessons learned" are described and provide a guide for other organizations and countries as they plan similar surveys.
Release date: 2008-03-17 - 4. Direct health measures surveys in Finland ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X200600110414Description:
In Finland the first national health examination surveys were carried out in the 1960s. Comprehensive surveys of nationally representative population samples have been carried out in 1978 to 1980 (The Mini-Finland Health Survey) and in 2000 to 2001 (Health 2000). Surveys of cardiovascular risk factors, so called FinRisk surveys, have assessed their trends every five years. The health examination surveys are an important tool of health monitoring, and, linked with registers also a rich source of data for epidemiological research. The paper also gives examples on reports published from several of these studies.
Release date: 2008-03-17 - 5. The effect of model specification on multiply imputed data: lessons learned from Project DC-HOPE ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X200600110442Description:
The District of Columbia Healthy Outcomes of Pregnancy Education (DC-HOPE) project is a randomized trial funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to test the effectiveness of an integrated education and counseling intervention (INT) versus usual care (UC) to reduce four risk behaviors among pregnant women. Participants were interviewed at baseline and three additional time points. Multiple imputation (MI) was used to estimate data for missing interviews. MI was done twice: once with all data imputed simultaneously, and once with data for women in the INT and UC groups imputed separately. Analyses of both imputed data sets and the pre-imputation data are compared.
Release date: 2008-03-17 - Articles and reports: 82-003-S200700010366Description:
This article describes some of the logistical and operational requirement and procedures employed to perform the clinic component of the Canadian Health Measures Survey.
