- 1. Panic disorder and coping ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-S20040007445Geography: CanadaDescription:
The prevalence of panic disorder by selected socio-demographic characteristics is examined in this article. Comparisons are made between people with a history of panic disorder and those who have never experienced this illness, in relation to chronic physical conditions, other mental health disorders, work status and coping.
Release date: 2004-12-23 - Articles and reports: 82-618-M2004001Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article reports smoking trends over the past decade for the Canadian population aged 18 or older. Based on longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey, the article examines smoking cessation and relapse in relation to level of addiction, smoke-free environments, vascular and respiratory chronic conditions and psychosocial factors such as stress and social support.
Release date: 2004-11-24 - 3. Second-hand smoke exposure: Who's at risk? ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20040017037Geography: CanadaDescription:
This Health Reports article uses data from the 2003 Canadian Community Health Survey to examine who is most commonly exposed to second-hand smoke, by age, sex, province and health region.
Exposure is examined by setting, that is, in public places, at work, at home, in private vehicles, and is given in the context of smoking prevalence.

This paper explores the relationship between low income and prevalence of asthma. The genetic and environmental determinants are incompletely understood. It has been observed in a previous study that Canadians with low incomes are at increased risk of asthma. Based on data from 17,605 subjects 12 years of age or older who participated in the first cycle of the National Population Health Survey (NPHS) from 1994 to 1995, males and females with low incomes had 1.44- and 1.33-fold increases, respectively, in the prevalence of asthma compared with their counterparts with high incomes. However, there was no significant difference observed between middle and high income categories. Therefore, it is not clear if there is a more systematic relationship between income adequacy and asthma occurrence. A much larger sample size of the second cycle of the NPHS allowed us to further explore if the prevalence of asthma increases with decreasing income adequacy among Canadians.

Cancer surveillance research requires accurate estimates of risk factors at the small area level. These risk factors are often obtained from surveys such as the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) or the Behavioral Risk Factors Surveillance Survey (BRFSS). Unfortunately, no one population-based survey provides ideal prevalence estimates of such risk factors. One strategy is to combine information from multiple surveys, using the complementary strengths of one survey to compensate for the weakness of the other. The NHIS is a nationally representative, face-to-face survey with a high response rate; however, it cannot produce state or substate estimates of risk factor prevalence because sample sizes are too small. The BRFSS is a state-level telephone survey that excludes non-telephone households and has a lower response rate, but does provide reasonable sample sizes in all states and many counties. Several methods are available for constructing small-area estimators that combine information from both the NHIS and the BRFSS, including direct estimators, estimators under hierarchical Bayes models and model-assisted estimators. In this paper, we focus on the latter, constructing generalized regression (GREG) and 'minimum-distance' estimators and using existing and newly developed small-area smoothing techniques to smooth the resulting estimators.

This report examines the health of residents of census metropolitan areas (CMAs) through measures such as life expectancy, self-rated health, smoking, heavy drinking, obesity, physical inactivity, high blood pressure, life stress, depression, self-perceived unmet health care needs and number of general physicians and family practitioners per 100,000 population.
Release date: 2004-07-28 - 7. Pregnancy and smoking ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20030046981Geography: CanadaDescription:
- About 17% of women who had a baby in the past five years smoked while they were pregnant, and 17% of women who did not smoke during pregnancy had regularly been exposed to others' smoking.
- Smoking and exposure to smoking during pregnancy is most common among women younger than 25.
- Regular exposure to others' smoking increased the risk that a woman would smoke while she was pregnant.
Release date: 2004-07-21 - Articles and reports: 21-006-X2003003Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study examines the health status of Canadian youth (ages 12 to 17) living in the largest metropolitan centres with those living in the northern regions. Information on whether health risk behaviours of urban youth are different from those of rural youth can assist families, policy-makers and local communities to target policies, programs and services at an appropriate geographic level. This analysis can also help to support claims made about youth behaviours or alternatively to dispel myths.
