- Articles and reports: 91-209-X19990004852Geography: CanadaDescription: Fifteen years ago in this series, A. Romaniuc published a comprehensive study of how fertility in Canada had evolved over the century. It described the phenomenal increase of fertility in the postwar period, resulting in the baby boom. With the largest cohorts ever known in Canada, the baby boomers, by their numbers alone, will have left their mark on Canada's social, economic and political structure throughout their life cycle.Release date: 1999-12-22
- 2. An analysis of the change in dependence-free life expectancy in Canada between 1986 and 1996 ArchivedArticles and reports: 91-209-X19990004853Geography: CanadaDescription: At the beginning of this century, a Canadian male could expect to live an average of 47 years and a Canadian female, 50 years. At that time, barely 38% of males and 44% of females reached the respectable age of 65 years. They could then expect to live for roughly another decade.Release date: 1999-12-22
- Articles and reports: 11-008-X19990034787Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article looks at those Canadians who moved either to provide care to someone with a long-term health problem or to be looked after by someone else.
Release date: 1999-12-09 - 4. Earnings of physicians ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19990044756Geography: CanadaDescription:
Earnings of physicians continue to exceed the overall average. This article presents a demographic and earnings profile of the medical profession and highlights changes between 1980 and 1995.
Release date: 1999-12-01 - 5. Changes in children's hospital use ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19990024732Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines changes in hospital separations of children aged 1 to 14 between 1986/87 and 1996/97. It focuses on four common causes of childhood hospitalization: asthma, chronic disease of tonsils and adenoids, fractures, and acute appendicitis.
Release date: 1999-11-16 - 6. The health of lone mothers ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19990024733Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article focuses on differences in the health status and health care utilization patterns of mothers in two-parent families, women who recently became lone parents, and women who had been lone parents for a longer period. Changes in the health of these women and their health care use over time are also explored.
Release date: 1999-11-16 - 7. Long working hours and health ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19990024734Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines associations between long working hours, depression and changes in selected health behaviours. Based on an analysis of people followed over a two-year period, the relationship between changes in work hours and changes in health behaviours is explored.
Release date: 1999-11-16 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X19990024735Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article provides estimates of the incidence of arthritis between 1994/95 and 1996/97 among women aged 38 or older. It also examines the association between hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and a new diagnosis of arthritis by 1996/97.
Release date: 1999-11-16 - Journals and periodicals: 82F0076XGeography: CanadaDescription:
Heart disease and stroke are major causes of illness, disability and death in Canada and they exact high personal, community and health care costs. The goal of The changing face of heart disease and stroke in Canada, the fifth in a series of reports from the Canadian Heart and Stroke Surveillance System (CHSSS), is to provide health professionals and policy makers with an overview of current trends in risk factors, interventions and services, and health outcomes of heart disease and stroke in Canada.
Release date: 1999-10-21 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X19990014715Description:
The Gallup Organization has been conducting household surveys to study state-wide prevalences of alcohol and drug (e.g., cocaine, marijuana, etc.) use. Traditional design-based survey estimates of use and dependence for counties and select demographic groups have unacceptably large standard errors because sample sizes in sub-state groups are two small. Synthetic estimation incorporates demographic information and social indicators in estimates of prevalence through an implicit regression model. Synthetic estimates tend to have smaller variances than design-based estimates, but can be very homogeneous across counties when auxiliary variables are homogeneous. Composite estimates for small areas are weighted averages of design-based survey estimates and synthetic estimates. A second problem generally not encountered at the state level but present for sub-state areas and groups concerns estimating standard errors of estimated prevalences that are close to zero. This difficulty affects not only telephone household survey estimates, but also composite estimates. A hierarchical model is proposed to address this problem. Empirical Bayes composite estimators, which incorporate survey weights, of prevalences and jackknife estimators of their mean squared errors are presented and illustrated.
