- Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202100500006Description:
While there are many studies that examine the relationships between neighbourhood characteristics and health outcomes, and between neighbourhood characteristics and neighbourhood satisfaction, the relationship between neighbourhood characteristics and subjective well-being, particularly life satisfaction, has received much less attention. The objective of this study is to fill this gap in order to help inform neighbourhood-based policy aimed at increasing well-being that is receiving increased attention.
Release date: 2021-05-26 - 2. Colorectal cancer testing in Canada 2008 ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X200900310874Geography: CanadaDescription:

Release date: 2009-06-30 - Articles and reports: 11-008-X200800110553Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines trends in the amount of time Canadians sleep. Sleep is important for our health and for our ability to interact and be sociable with others. Comparing groups of people in different job and family situations can help to identify influences, apart from our bodies' physiology, that affect our sleep. The article also investigates the differences in sleep times consistently reported between men and women.
Release date: 2008-04-22 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2004228Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study examines the relationship between individuals' health status and the socio-economic composition of the neighbourhoods in which they live. It combines individual microdata from Statistics Canada's 1996-97 National Population Health Survey (NPHS) with neighbourhood-level characteristics estimated from the 1996 Census of Canada.
Release date: 2004-09-27 - 5. Folic acid supplementation ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20030036851Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper looks at what proportion of women who had a baby in the past five years took folic acid supplements when they were pregnant. It examines rates for folic acid supplementation by age, marital status and household income.
Release date: 2004-05-18 - 6. 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.
