- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500300002Description: Ambulatory care sensitive conditions (ACSCs) are illnesses that can be effectively treated and managed in primary care settings. Hospitalizations for ACSCs are therefore considered avoidable and may indicate poor access to quality primary care. This study examined trends in avoidable hospitalizations in Canada among racialized groups.Release date: 2025-03-19
- Table: 82-570-XGeography: Province or territoryDescription: The Health of Canadians report brings together important health data, both for the population overall and for specific groups, to provide a comprehensive portrait of population health and to shed light on health disparities. It includes key statistics on population health such as health outcomes (e.g., chronic conditions), health behaviours (e.g., exercise, nutrition), access to health care (e.g., unmet health care needs) and determinants of health (e.g., age, income). The Health of Canadians report is meant to be used by our federal, provincial and territorial partners, as well as health professionals, researchers, and policymakers across the country to inform policies and plans, leading to better, more equitable health outcomes for all Canadians.Release date: 2025-03-05
- Stats in brief: 11-627-M2025023Description: This infographic highlights trends from the Health of Canadians annual report. It is based on data from the 2021 to 2023 Canadian Community Health Survey and the 2021 and 2022 Canadian Income Survey and includes key statistics on the health of Canadians, such as perceived health, and access to health care.Release date: 2025-03-05
- Articles and reports: 75-006-X202500100003Description: Using data from the Canadian Oral Health Survey, this study describes the characteristics of individuals who avoided visiting an oral health professional or who avoided recommended dental treatment because of cost. It explores how cost-related avoidance in the previous 12 months varies across age, gender and equity-seeking groups. The article also provides a detailed overview of the role of income and dental insurance in cost-related avoidance of oral health services.Release date: 2025-02-12
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202401100002Description: Compared with their cisgender heterosexual peers, youth who are Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer and those who use other terms related to gender or sexual diversity (2SLGBTQ+) are at elevated risk for mental health difficulties and suicidality. The social experiences of 2SLGBTQ+ youth, including the impact of minority stress, access to social support, and experiences of negative social interactions, may contribute to this disparity. The purpose of this study is to describe the mental health and service use of 2SLGBTQ+ youth compared with those of their cisgender heterosexual peers and (2) examine the role of young people’s social support and negative social interactions in explaining mental health inequities between 2SLGBTQ+ youth and their peers.Release date: 2024-11-20
- Public use microdata: 82M0021XDescription: The Public Use Microdata File (PUMF) for the Mental Health and Access to Care Survey (MHACS) provides information about the mental health status of Canadians, as well as their access to and need for services and supports, whether formal or informal. This product includes many safeguards to prevent the identification of any one person or household. The 2022 MHACS is a repeat of the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey on Mental Health (CCHS-Mental Health). In contrast to the 2002 and 2012 iterations of the CCHS-Mental Health, which were administered in-person, the 2022 MHACS was administered by computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI) due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Release date: 2024-06-26
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400400001Description: Oral health is a crucial component of overall health, influencing both physical and mental well-being. Yet, despite the important role that access to and use of oral health care services play in maintaining optimal oral health, substantial disparities remain in access to oral health care services across population groups in Canada. Using data from the 2022 Canadian Community Health Survey, this study examines the association of dental insurance with oral health care access and use in Canada while accounting for income and sociodemographic factors. It contributes to a baseline of oral health care disparities before the implementation of the Canadian Dental Care Plan.Release date: 2024-04-17
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400400002Description: Children’s oral health can affect functional capacities, psychological well-being, and social integration. Additionally, health behaviours established in childhood extend into adulthood and can influence oral health outcomes later in life. Using data from the 2019 Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth, this study investigates the association between dental insurance, income, and dental care access for Canadian children and youth aged 1 to 17 years. It contributes to a baseline understanding of oral health care use before the implementation of the Canadian Dental Care Plan.Release date: 2024-04-17
- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400300002Description: Canada is experiencing rapid population aging, which has a wide range of implications, including an increased need for health care services. However, very few studies have examined use of specialized health care services (e.g., visits to medical specialists, non-emergency tests, and surgeries) among older Canadians. Using data from the 2019/2020 Canadian Health Survey on Seniors, this study examines the prevalence of specialized health care service use and evaluates the association of predisposing factors, enabling resources, and need-related factors with specialized health care service use in the past 12 months among Canadians aged 65 or older.Release date: 2024-03-20

Release date: 2004-09-09 - Public use microdata: 82M0022XGeography: CanadaDescription:
The Joint Canada/United States Survey of Health is a collaborative project undertaken by Statistics Canada and the National Center for Health Statistics of the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention. It is the first survey that asks a common set of questions to approximately 3,500 Canadians and 5,200 U.S. residents about their health status and access to health care services. The analytical report in this publication compares Canadians and U.S. residents on a broad range of health dimensions including self-perceived health, chronic conditions, functional status, life-style factors such as smoking and obesity, health care utilization and satisfaction with health care services. A public use microdata file (PUMF) has been prepared from the survey, and is available for free download in this publication. The PUMF comes with complete documentation, including a data dictionary, a user guide and a document explaining how the derived variables were created. "Bootstrap" weights for variance calculation are also provided for free download.
Release date: 2004-06-02 - Table: 89-587-XGeography: Province or territoryDescription: The 2001 Participation and Activity Limitation Survey (PALS) is a post-censal survey of adults and children whose everyday activities are limited because of a condition or health problem. A sample of those persons who answered 'Yes' to the 2001 Census disability filter questions were included in the PALS survey population. Approximately 35, 000 adults (aged 15 and over) and 8,000 children (aged 0 to 14) living in private or collective households in the 10 provinces were selected to participate in the survey. Persons living in institutions, on Indian reserves, and in the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut were excluded from the survey. The data were collected after the 2001 Census, in the fall of 2001.
These tables contain data on the educational attainment, labour force activity and income of adults with and without disabilities.
