- 1. The changing health of immigrants ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20050028454Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using longitudinal data from Statistics Canada's National Population Health Survey (NPHS), this article assesses the health impact of the immigration process, as individuals adjust to life in Canada, by comparing changes in immigrants' self-perceived health status, health care use, and health-related behaviours with those of the Canadian-born population. Information was collected from the same individuals over an eight-year period from 1994-1995 to 2002-2003.
Release date: 2005-09-13 - 2. Dynamics of immigrants' health ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-005-X20050018440Geography: CanadaDescription:
This summary provides highlights of an analysis that used eight years of longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey, 1994/95 to 2002/03. The analysis was part of an Internet publication Healthy Today, Healthy Tomorrow? Findings from the National Population Health Survey, Catalogue no. 82-618-MWE.

A broad range of health and mortality determinants are evaluated: demographic and socio-economic characteristics (age, sex, living arrangements, education, household income, rural/urban residence), health related behaviours (smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity in leisure time, weight), psycho-social factors (stress, sense of coherence, social support), chronic conditions and frequency of medical consultations.

This Health Reports article presents in 2000-2001 and 2003, about 20% of the off-reserve Aboriginal population in the provinces reported having had an activity-limiting injury in the past year, compared with 14% of other provincial residents. In the territories, injury rates of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people did not differ significantly.
Release date: 2005-03-15 - 7. Passengers of intoxicated drivers ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20040027788Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 2000-2001, 4% of people aged 12 or older reported being in a vehicle driven by someone who had too much to drink. The likelihood of riding with an intoxicated driver was highest at ages 15 to 29. Close to two-thirds of licensed drivers aged 16 or older reported "always" arranging for a designated driver when going to a place where alcohol would be served.
Release date: 2005-03-15 - 8. Dynamics of Immigrants' Health in Canada: Evidence from the National Population Health Survey ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-618-M2005002Geography: CanadaDescription:
