- 1. Validation of the 10-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) in the 2012 Aboriginal Peoples Survey ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201600114307Description:
Using the 2012 Aboriginal Peoples Survey, this study examined the psychometric properties of the 10-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (a short measure of non-specific psychological distress) for First Nations people living off reserve, Métis, and Inuit aged 15 or older.
Release date: 2016-01-20 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201500314143Description:
This study evaluates the representativeness of the pooled 2007/2009-2009/2011 Canadian Health Measures Survey immigrant sample by comparing it with socio-demographic distributions from the 2006 Census and the 2011 National Household Survey, and with selected self-reported health and health behaviour indicators from the 2009/2010 Canadian Community Health Survey.
Release date: 2015-03-18 - 3. Estimating the prevalence of COPD in Canada: Reported diagnosis versus measured airflow obstruction ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201400311908Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study compares prevalence estimates of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease based on self-reports with those based on lung function measurements from cycle 1 of Statistics Canada's Canadian Health Measures Survey.
Release date: 2014-03-19 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201300111764Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
This study compares two sources of information about prescription drug use by people aged 65 or older in Ontario - the Canadian Community Health Survey and the drug claimsdatabase of the Ontario Drug Benefit Program. The analysis pertains to cardiovascular and diabetes drugs because they are commonly used, and almost all are prescribed on a regular basis.
Release date: 2013-01-16 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201200111625Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study compares estimates of the prevalence of cigarette smoking based on self-report with estimates based on urinary cotinine concentrations. The data are from the 2007 to 2009 Canadian Health Measures Survey, which included self-reported smoking status and the first nationally representative measures of urinary cotinine.
Release date: 2012-02-15 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201100311533Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study compares the bias in self-reported height, weight and body mass index in the 2008 and 2005 Canadian Community Health Surveys and the 2007 to 2009 Canadian Health Measures Survey. The feasibility of using correction equations to adjust self-reported 2008 Canadian Community Health Survey values to more closely approximate measured values is assessed.
Release date: 2011-08-17 - 7. Primary mental health care visits in self-reported data versus provincial administrative records ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201100211474Description:
This study compares the number of mental health visits reported to the Canadian Community Health Survey: Mental Health with provincial administrative records, using diagnostic codes to identify visits in the administrative data.
Release date: 2011-06-15 - 8. Validation of self-rated mental health ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201000311288Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article assesses the association between self-rated mental health and selected World Mental Health-Composite International Diagnostic Interview-measured disorders, self-reported diagnoses of mental disorders, and psychological distress in the Canadian population.
Release date: 2010-07-21 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X200800011002Description:
Based on a representative sample of the Canadian population, this article quantifies the bias resulting from the use of self-reported rather than directly measured height, weight and body mass index (BMI). Associations between BMI categories and selected health conditions are compared to see if the misclassification resulting from the use of self-reported data alters associations between obesity and obesity-related health conditions. The analysis is based on 4,567 respondents to the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) who, during a face-to-face interview, provided self-reported values for height and weight and were then measured by trained interviewers. Based on self-reported data, a substantial proportion of individuals with excess body weight were erroneously placed in lower BMI categories. This misclassification resulted in elevated associations between overweight/obesity and morbidity.
Release date: 2009-12-03 - 10. Correcting self-reported estimates of obesity: Can we more closely approximate measured values? ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-522-X200800011003Description:
This study examined the feasibility of developing correction factors to adjust self-reported measures of Body Mass Index to more closely approximate measured values. Data are from the 2005 Canadian Community Health Survey where respondents were asked to report their height and weight and were subsequently measured. Regression analyses were used to determine which socio-demographic and health characteristics were associated with the discrepancies between reported and measured values. The sample was then split into two groups. In the first, the self-reported BMI and the predictors of the discrepancies were regressed on the measured BMI. Correction equations were generated using all predictor variables that were significant at the p<0.05 level. These correction equations were then tested in the second group to derive estimates of sensitivity, specificity and of obesity prevalence. Logistic regression was used to examine the relationship between measured, reported and corrected BMI and obesity-related health conditions. Corrected estimates provided more accurate measures of obesity prevalence, mean BMI and sensitivity levels. Self-reported data exaggerated the relationship between BMI and health conditions, while in most cases the corrected estimates provided odds ratios that were more similar to those generated with the measured BMI.
