- Articles and reports: 82-003-X200900210872Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines geographical variations in 30-day revascularization rates and 30-day in-hospital mortality rates for Canadian heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) patients. The data are from the Health Person-Oriented Information Database and pertain to health regions with at least 100,000 population in seven provinces for the years 1995/1996 and 2003/2004.
Release date: 2009-06-17 - 2. 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.

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.
To fill statistical gaps in the areas of health determinants, health status and health system usage by the Canadian population at the health region levels (sub-provincial areas or regions of interest to health authorities), Statistics Canada established a new survey called the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). The CCHS consists of two separate components: a regional survey in the first year and a provincial survey in the second year. The main purpose of the regional survey, for which collection took place between September 2000 and October 2001, was to produce cross-sectional estimates for 136 health regions in Canada, based on a sample of more than 134,000 respondents. This article focuses on the various measures taken at the time of data collection to ensure a high level of quality for this large-scale survey.

This article presents a profile of variations in disability-free life expectancy (DFLE) by health region.
Release date: 2002-07-25 - 5. Regional socio-economic context and health ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-S200200113264Geography: CanadaDescription:
The study examined the characteristics of people who reported their health as poor or fair in the Canadian Community Health Survey of 2000/01. The results expand on the conclusions of an article titled "The health of Canada's communities," released in The daily on July 4. That article found that self-perceived health status differed substantially between health regions and that regional socio-economic factors were clearly associated with average health status in each region. People living in large metropolitan areas and urban centres, where education levels are high, had the highest life expectancies in all of Canada. At the other end of the spectrum, people living in remote northern communities, where education levels are lower, had poorer health.
This new article examines the extent to which this regional variation is attributable to the composition of the population within each health region, rather than to the socio-economic context of the region.
