  • 31. Factors associated with the use of oral health care services among Canadian children and youth
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400400002
    Description: Children’s oral health can affect functional capacities, psychological well-being, and social integration. Additionally, health behaviours established in childhood extend into adulthood and can influence oral health outcomes later in life. Using data from the 2019 Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth, this study investigates the association between dental insurance, income, and dental care access for Canadian children and youth aged 1 to 17 years. It contributes to a baseline understanding of oral health care use before the implementation of the Canadian Dental Care Plan.

  • 37. “Sandwiched” between unpaid care for children and care-dependent adults: A gender-based study
    Articles and reports: 89-652-X2024002
    Description: Using data from the 2022 Canadian Social Survey Wave 6 (Well-being and caregiving), this study explores unpaid caregiving in the past 12 months for care-dependent groups (children under 15 years old or adults and youth over 15 years old with a long-term condition or disability).

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Discussions related to work hours are typically driven by cross-sectional studies. Much less is known about the longitudinal perspective and the persistence of long hours or periods of underemployment. The annual hours of employees are examined over a five-year period to determine what proportion experience variable work years and how their well-being is affected.

  • 1,304. Estimating undercounting of vehicle-related injury cases in New Zealand: a probabilistic data integration and capture-recapture approach Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X20050019477
    Description:

    Using probabilistic data linkage, an integrated database of injuries is obtained by linking on some subset of various key variables or their derivatives: names (given names, surnames and alternative names), age, sex, birthdate, phone numbers, injury date, unique identification numbers, diagnosis. To assess the quality of the links produced, false positive rates and false negative rates are computed. These rates however do not give an indication of whether the databases used for linking have undercounted injuries (bias). It is of interest to an injury researcher moreover, to have some idea of the error margin for the figures generated from integrating various injury databases, similar to what one would get in a survey for instance.

  • 1,307. Longitudinal Surveys, Retrospective Information and Population Health Measures Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X20050019492
    Description:

    Although it is preferable to calculate population health indicators such as life expectancies in different health states based on health data from longitudinal surveys, they are almost always calculated using health data from cross-section surveys. One way of overcoming this challenge is to use health information collected retrospectively. This study is based on two major propositions. The first proposition is that population health indicators can be calculated using data with retrospective information on health. The second proposition is that estimates calculated based on such data would closely approximate estimates calculated based on data with current health information.

  • 1,308. Educational services and the disabled child Archived
    Articles and reports: 81-004-X20060059588
    Description:

    Today, disability is viewed more often as a social construct than a medical one. Educational reforms have changed the way in which children with disabilities are integrated into the school system. With data from the 2001 Participation and Activity Limitation Survey, this article looks at the prevalence of children with disabilities, whether they attend regular classes and the kind of conditions for which they need special services. It examines the issues about access to educational services needed : which services are most needed and used, and what barriers may get in the way of obtaining such services.

  • 51. Vital Statistics - Stillbirth Database
    Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 3234
    Description: This is an administrative survey that collects demographic information annually from all provincial and territorial vital statistics registries on all stillbirths (fetal deaths) in Canada. 2017 birth and stillbirth data for Yukon are not available. Due to improvements in methodology and timeliness, the duration of data collection has been shortened compared to previous years. As a result, there may have been fewer births and stillbirths captured by the time of the release. The 2017 data are therefore considered preliminary.
