  • 1. Changes in life expectancy at birth during the COVID-19 pandemic and contributions by cause of death in British Columbia, Canada
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500200001
    Description: Studies have shown that excess all-cause mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic caused declines of life expectancy at birth (LE0) in most countries around the world, after decades of improvement prior to the pandemic.

This study aimed to quantify the changes from 2019 to each year during the pandemic and the contributions from COVID-19, unregulated drug toxicity, and other causes of death in British Columbia, Canada.

  • 6. Canadian Index of Multiple Deprivation: User Guide, 2021
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 45-20-00012023002

While it is a geographically-based index of deprivation and marginalization, it can also be used as a proxy for an individual. The CIMD has the potential to be widely used by researchers on a variety of topics related to socio-economic research. Other uses for the index may include: policy planning and evaluation, or resource allocation.
