- 21. Social determinants of health for the off-reserve First Nations population, 15 years of age and older, 2012 ArchivedArticles and reports: 89-653-X2016010Description:
This article explores the relationship between various social determinants of health and selected health outcomes for First Nations people aged 15 and older living off-reserve. Specifically, the following social determinants are explored: health behaviours (smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity), physical environments (housing, mobility, employment, education, income, food security), access to health resources, cultural continuity (participation in traditional activities, Aboriginal language, social support), and residential school attendance. An integrated life course and social determinants model of Aboriginal health framework is used to guide the analysis.

Release date: 2009-10-21 - 28. Work hours instability ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X20061129544Geography: CanadaDescription:
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.
Release date: 2007-03-20 - 29. Socioeconomic status and birth outcomes in Quebec ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-005-X20060029294Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
This newsletter article presents results from a population-based study of birth outcomes in Quebec from 1991 to 2000. Rates of adverse birth outcomes increased across successively poorer neighbourhood income groups, and across successively lower levels of maternal education, for five outcomes: preterm birth, small-for-gestational-age birth, stillbirth, neonatal death, and postneonatal death.
Release date: 2006-09-20 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2004228Geography: CanadaDescription:

- 11. Ethnocultural and socioeconomic disparities in exposure to residential greenness within urban CanadaArticles and reports: 82-003-X202100500001Description:
Residential greenness has been associated with benefits to health, such as lower risk of mortality, cardiovascular disease, obesity, adverse birth outcomes, asthma and better psychological health. However, the variation in greenness across socioeconomic and demographic characteristics in urban areas of Canada has not been well documented. Authors of a study focused upon respondents to the 2001 Canadian Census reported that more affluent and more highly educated adults living in the 30 largest Census metropolitan areas of Canada had greater exposures to residential greenness than those who were less affluent and less well-educated. This study builds on that work by using data from the more recent, 2016 Census; including respondents of all ages; and by considering differences in exposures according not only to age, education, and income, but also according to immigration status, time since immigration, self-reported ethnicity, and neighbourhood deprivation indices.

Following the 2016 opioid overdose emergency declaration in British Columbia, provincial stakeholders collaborated to link data that resulted in the British Columbia Provincial Overdose Cohort. This database provides information about people who have experienced opioid overdoses to inform policy and intervention developments. Subsequently, Statistics Canada likewise constructed a cohort and integrated federal data to broaden the scope of the British Columbia initiative. This provided federally sourced information about people’s circumstances that was not otherwise available.

This study examines the evolution of the socioeconomic situation of the Black population in Canada for the period 2001 to 2016. The main subjects treated are the family situation, the levels of education, employment and wages for the adult population (25-59 years-old), as well as the low income situation of children (less than 15 years-old). Black populations are compared with the rest of the population along two dimensions: sex and generation status.
Release date: 2020-08-13 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X202000400003Description:
This article examines the self-perceived mental health of Canadians during the COVID-19 pandemic and explores associations with various concerns after accounting for socioeconomic and health factors.
Release date: 2020-06-24 - Articles and reports: 89-657-X2020002Description:
This booklet examines the socioeconomic situation of the Black population in Canada and focusses primarily on the education and labour market outcomes as well as family structures of the Black population in comparison to the rest of the population. In addition, the perceptions of Black individuals in the labour force, their experiences with discrimination and their resiliency will be examined. Data from the Census as well as the General Social Survey have been used and have been disaggregated by sex for the Black population and the rest of the population.
Release date: 2020-02-25 - 16. Socioeconomic disparities in life and health expectancy among the household population in CanadaArticles and reports: 82-003-X202000100001Description:
This study uses the 1996 and 2011 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohorts (CanCHECs), with a five-year mortality follow-up, to estimate the life expectancy (LE) of the household population. It also incorporates information from two national health surveys to estimate health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE). The objectives of this study are to examine LE, HALE and disparities in LE and HALE in the 1996 and 2011 cohorts at ages 25 and 65 for men and women, according to highest level of educational attainment and household income quintile; to examine these disparities according to the combination of education and income in the 2011 cohort; and to examine how education- and income-related disparities in LE and HALE changed over time.
Release date: 2020-01-15 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201900600002Description:
The cumulative toll of exposure to stressors (psychosocial, chemical, physical) can contribute to disease processes. The concept of allostatic load, essentially the cost of maintaining physiological stability in response to environmental demands, may be useful in assessing broad population health impacts of stressors beyond morbidity and mortality. In this study, allostatic load scores were generated for Canadians using data from cycles 1, 2, and 3 (2007 to 2013) of the Canadian Health Measures Survey, and associations with age, sex, education and household income were examined.
Release date: 2019-06-19 - 18. Formal home care use in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201800900001Description:
Data from the annual Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) 2015/2016 are used to estimate the number and percentage of households in which at least one person of any age received formal home care services in Canada during the previous year. A descriptive analysis of socioeconomic characteristics of households receiving formal home care is presented.
Release date: 2018-09-19 - Articles and reports: 89-648-X2018001Description:
This study examines the association between self-reported health and spouse-pair labour-market income using data from the Longitudinal and International Study of Adults. To explore the channels through which health associates with individual labour-market income, the association between health and spouse-pair income is further broken down into the association between health and the probability of working, hours worked, and hourly wage, both for an individual’s health and their spouse’s health.

For decades, researchers have reported high suicide rates among Aboriginal youth, which are several times higher than rates in the non-Aboriginal population. Based on the 2012 Aboriginal Peoples Survey, this article presents estimates of suicidal thoughts among off-reserve First Nations, Métis and Inuit adults aged 18 to 25. It examines associations between past-year suicidal thoughts and mental disorders and personality factors, childhood experiences and family characteristics, and socio-demographic characteristics, many of which have been shown to be related to suicidal thoughts in other populations.
