- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400200001Description: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted several issues among health care workers in Canada’s long-term care and seniors’ (LTCS) homes, including labour shortages, staff retention difficulties, overcrowding, and precarious working conditions. There is currently a lack of information on the health, well-being, and working conditions of health care workers in LTCS homes—many of them immigrants—and a limited understanding of the relationship between them. Using data from the 2021 Survey on Health Care Workers’ Experiences During the Pandemic, this paper examines differences between immigrant and non-immigrant workers’ health outcomes and precarious working conditions during the pandemic.Release date: 2024-02-21
- 2. Injuries at work, 2013 ArchivedStats in brief: 82-625-X201500114148Description:
This health fact sheet presents data on injuries at work among Canadians aged 15 to 74. Results shown are based on data from the 2013 Canadian Community Health Survey.
Release date: 2015-04-28 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X200600110410Description:
The U.S. Survey of Occupational Illnesses and Injuries (SOII) is a large-scale establishment survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to measure incidence rates and impact of occupational illnesses and injuries within specified industries at the national and state levels. This survey currently uses relatively simple procedures for detection and treatment of outliers. The outlier-detection methods center on comparison of reported establishment-level incidence rates to the corresponding distribution of reports within specified cells defined by the intersection of state and industry classifications. The treatment methods involve replacement of standard probability weights with a weight set equal to one, followed by a benchmark adjustment.
One could use more complex methods for detection and treatment of outliers for the SOII, e.g., detection methods that use influence functions, probability weights and multivariate observations; or treatment methods based on Winsorization or M-estimation. Evaluation of the practical benefits of these more complex methods requires one to consider three important factors. First, severe outliers are relatively rare, but when they occur, they may have a severe impact on SOII estimators in cells defined by the intersection of states and industries. Consequently, practical evaluation of the impact of outlier methods focuses primarily on the tails of the distributions of estimators, rather than standard aggregate performance measures like variance or mean squared error. Second, the analytic and data-based evaluations focus on the incremental improvement obtained through use of the more complex methods, relative to the performance of the simple methods currently in place. Third, development of the abovementioned tools requires somewhat nonstandard asymptotics the reflect trade-offs in effects associated with, respectively, increasing sample sizes; increasing numbers of publication cells; and changing tails of underlying distributions of observations.
Release date: 2008-03-17 - Journals and periodicals: 82-581-XDescription:
This report briefly describes over 100 long-term medical follow-up studies covering topics over the complete life cycle including most age groups and diseases. The research projects examine delayed health outcomes in relation to occupational, environmental, lifestyle, medical and socio-economic factors.
This inventory of projects carried out since 1978, searchable by themes, will aid in determining earlier research completed using record linkage plus national birth, cancer and death databases for Canada. It outlines the agencies involved, the main investigators at the time of the work, the size of the study population, and provides citations to published findings. This report will be useful for those who make or influence policies, regulations and medical guidelines, and carry out research that affects the health of the population at the industry, community, regional, national or international level.
Release date: 2006-02-14 - 5. Repetitive strain injury ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20020046594Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 2000/01, 10% of Canadians aged 20 or older, an estimated 2.3 million, reported having had a repetitive strain injury (RSI) in the past 12 months. Work-related activities were most often the cause. People with RSIs had more contact with health care professionals and higher levels of chronic pain and psychological distress than did those without an RSI.

Objective: To create an occupational surveillance system by collecting, linking, evaluating and disseminating data relating to occupation and mortality with the ultimate aim of reducing or preventing excess risk among workers and the general population.
Release date: 2000-03-02 - 7. Homicide in Canada, 1997 ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-002-X19980128231Geography: Province or territory, Census metropolitan areaDescription:
Homicide – the killing of one human being by another - tends to receive more media attention than any other criminal act. Governments, criminal justice agencies and the general public have a vested interest in monitoring the nature and extent of these occurrences. Despite a growing concern among Canadians about violence, the homicide rate has gradually been declining since the mid 1970s.
Release date: 1998-10-27 - 8. Homicide in Canada, 1996 ArchivedArticles and reports: 85-002-X19970098284Geography: Province or territory, Census metropolitan areaDescription:
Homicide tends to receive more media attention and consequently closer public scrutiny than any other criminal act. The act itself, especially if cruel in nature or targeting defenceless members of society, promotes fear in the general public. Despite a growing concern among Canadians about threats of attack or violence, the homicide rate has gradually been declining since the mid 1970s.
