- Articles and reports: 11F0019M2013351Geography: CanadaDescription:
Measures of subjective well-being are increasingly prominent in international policy discussions about how best to measure "societal progress" and the well-being of national populations. This has implications for national statistical offices, as calls have been made for them to include measures of subjective well-being in their household surveys (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development 2013). Statistics Canada has included measures of subjective well-being - particularly life satisfaction - in its surveys for twenty-five years, although the wording of these questions and the response categories have evolved over time. Statistics Canada's General Social Survey (GSS) and Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) offer a valuable opportunity to examine the stability of life satisfaction responses and their correlates from year to year using a consistent analytical framework.
Release date: 2013-10-11 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201300811857Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using data from the Canadian Cancer Registry, vital statistics and population statistics, this study examines the assumption of stable age-standardized sex- and cancer-site-specific incidence-to-mortality rate ratios across regions, which underlies the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries' (NAACCR) completeness of case indicator.
Release date: 2013-08-21 - 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-X201100111404Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study assesses three child-reported parenting behaviour scales (nurturance, rejection and monitoring) in the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth.
Release date: 2011-02-16 - 5. Validation of cognitive functioning categories in the Canadian Community Health Survey -Healthy Aging ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201000411391Geography: CanadaDescription:
This analysis uses data from the Cognition Module of the 2009 Canadian Community Health Survey - Healthy Aging to validate a categorization of levels of cognitive functioning in the household population aged 45 or older.
Release date: 2010-12-15 - 6. 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 - 7. Evaluating the hyperactivity/inattention subscale of the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201000211234Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article evaluates the parent-reported Hyperactivity/Inattention Subscale of the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth with data from cycle 1 (1994/1995) of the survey.
Release date: 2010-06-16 - 8. Quality control and data reduction procedures for accelerometry-derived measures of physical activity ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201000111066Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article considers critical quality control and data reduction procedures that should be addressed before physical activity information is derived from accelerometry data.
Release date: 2010-01-13 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X200800410703Geography: CanadaDescription:
Data from 16,190 respondents to the 2004 Canadian Community Health Survey - Nutrition were used to estimate under-reporting of food intake for the population aged 12 or older in the 10 provinces.
Release date: 2008-10-15 - 10. The feasibility of establishing correction factors to adjust self-reported estimates of obesity ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X200800310680Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study examines 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, in which respondents were asked to report their height and weight, and were subsequently measured.
