- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202300400001Description: To date, population estimates of hypertension prevalence among children and adolescents in Canada have been based on clinical guidelines in the National High Blood Pressure Education Program’s 2004 Fourth Report on the Diagnosis, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents (NHBPEP 2004). In 2017, the American Academy of Pediatrics published updated guidelines in Clinical Practice Guideline for Screening and Management of High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents (AAP 2017), followed by Hypertension Canada in 2020 with its publication of Comprehensive Guidelines for the Prevention, Diagnosis, Risk Assessment, and Treatment of Hypertension in Adults and Children (HC 2020). This is the first study in Canada to compare the national estimates of the prevalence of child and adolescent hypertension based on AAP 2017 with estimates of prevalence based on NHBPEP 2004 and HC 2020. The main objectives of this analysis were to apply AAP 2017 and HC 2020 to all six cycles of Canadian Health Measures Survey data available to date and examine the effect on population estimates of hypertension prevalence by sex and age group among children and adolescents aged 6 to 17. This study also examines the impact of applying AAP 2017 across time and selected characteristics, describes those who are reclassified into a higher BP category under AAP 2017, and examines differences in hypertension prevalence resulting from applying HC 2020 versus AAP 2017.Release date: 2023-04-19

The ÉLDEQ initiated a special data gathering project in March 2008 with the collection of biological materials from 1,973 families. During a typical visit, a nurse collects a blood or saliva sample from the selected child, makes a series of measurements (anthropometry, pulse rate and blood pressure) and administers questionnaires. Planned and supervised by the Institut de la Statistique du Québec (ISQ) and the Université de Montréal, the study is being conducted in cooperation with two private firms and a number of hospitals. This article examines the choice of collection methods, the division of effort among the various players, the sequence of communications and contacts with respondents, the tracing of families who are not contacted, and follow-up on the biological samples. Preliminary field results are also presented.

Release date: 2002-09-17 - 27. Data detectives: uncovering systematic errors ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X20010016237Description:
This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
Secondary users of health information often assume that administrative data provides a relatively sound basis for making important planning and policy decisions. If errors are evenly or randomly distributed, this assumption may have little impact on these decisions. However, when information sources contain systematic errors, or when systematic errors are introduced during the creation of master files, this assumption can be damaging.
The most common systematic errors involve underreporting activities for a specific population; inaccurate re-coding of spatial information; and differences in data entry protocols, which have raised questions about the consistency of data submitted by different tracking agencies. The Central East Health Information Partnership (CEHIP) has identified a number of systematic errors in administrative databases and has documented many of these in reports distributed to partner organizations.
This paper describes how some of these errors were identified and notes the processes that give rise to the loss of data integrity. The conclusion addresses some of the impacts these problems have for health planners, program managers and policy makers.

This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.
The Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) is one of the key data holdings held by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). The institute is a national, not-for-profit organization, which plays a critical role in the development of Canada's health information system. The DAD contains acute care discharge data from most Canadian hospitals. The data generated are essential for determining, for example, the number and types of procedures and the length of hospital stays. CIHI is conducting the first national data quality study of selected clinical and administrative data from the DAD. This study is evaluating and measuring the accuracy of the DAD by returning to the original data sources and comparing this information with what exists in the CIHI database, in order to identify any discrepancies and their associated reasons. This paper describes the DAD data quality study and some preliminary findings. The findings are also briefly compared with another similar study. In conclusion, the paper discusses subsequent steps for the study and how the findings from the first year are contributing to improvements in the quality of the DAD.

The report Children and youth at risk documents the proceedings of a symposium held in Ottawa on April 6 and 7, 2000 to explore research and policy issues concerning the education of children who, for whatever reason, are at risk of not meeting the normal expectations of the education system.
It includes summaries of presentations, discussions and commissioned research papers. The themes and issues are summarized in a synthesis written by Dr. Robert Crocker of the faculty of education at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
The symposium was held as an activity of the Pan-Canadian Education Research Agenda. The Canadian Education Statistics Council - a partnership between Statistics Canada and the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada - started this research program with a view to promoting research on policy issues in education of concern to researchers, policy-makers and practitioners. Human Resources Development Canada provided financial support for the symposium.

Since 2007/2008, Statistics Canada has centred analysis of data holdings related to health as well as our program of dissemination of health research within the new Health Information and Research Division (HIRD).
The new division has launched a comprehensive approach to analytical planning including environmental scanning and consultation; establishment of strategic multi-year priorities for health research at Statistics Canada; a process of project selection and review that ensures that analytical effort addresses our priorities; metrics to measure our adherence to priorities and the impact of our analytical effort; and communication and dissemination of analytical plans.
This multi-year analytical plan identifies the key high-level priority areas for Statistics Canada's investment in health research for 2008/2009 to 2010/2011, and serves as a blueprint for subsequent operational research planning.
