    Description: Statistics Canada routinely collects information on functional health and related concepts. Recently, the Washington Group (WG) measure of disability was introduced to the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). The WG measure is used as a tool for developing internationally comparable data on disability. In alternate cycles of the CCHS, it replaces the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3), a generic preference-based measure of health-related quality of life, used to derive evaluative health measures common in population health and economic evaluations. To address resulting data gaps, this study provides an overview of the mapping process whereby the utility scores of the HUI3 were estimated from the WG disability measure. This detailed overview of instrument mapping includes qualitative approaches in addition to mapping through statistical estimation.

In alternate cycles of the CCHS, it replaces the Health Utilities Index Mark 3 (HUI3), a generic preference-based measure of health-related quality of life, used to derive evaluative health measures common in population health and economic evaluations. Since the WG measure is not preference-based, it is unable to derive these measures. To address resulting data gaps, this study provides the conclusions of a mapping process whereby the utility scores of the HUI3 were estimated from the WG disability measure. Following selection of preferred models, this study provides prediction equations used to estimate the HUI3 score and validates the results of the mapping process.

    Description: Over the last several years, recreational screen time has been increasing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, recreational screen time rose among Canadian youth and adults, and those who increased screen time had poorer self-reported mental health. Using data from the 2017, 2018, and 2021 Canadian Community Health Survey, the objective of this study was to compare recreational screen time behaviours before (2018) and during (2021) the pandemic, looking at patterns by sociodemographic subgroups of the Canadian population.

    Description: Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are a major public health concern impacting the lives of many Canadians. Among all TBIs, concussions are the most common. However, to date, the incidence of concussions among the Canadian population has remained unknown. To address this data surveillance gap, this study presents national estimates on the percentage of Canadians aged 12 years or older (excluding those living in the territories) who sustained one or more concussions in 2019.

    Description:

    Estimates of polypharmacy (the concurrent use of five-or-more medications) have primarily been derived from prescription claims. Less is known about the use of non-prescription medications (alone or in combination with prescription medications) across the frailty spectrum or by sex. This study estimates the prevalence of polypharmacy (total, prescription, non-prescription, and concurrent prescription/non-prescription) overall, and by frailty, sex, and broad age groups.

    Description:

    This paper examines whether individuals in population groups of interest—specifically individuals in low-income families, those in single-parent families, those with mood or anxiety disorders, those in designated visible minorities categories and immigrants—tend to reside in neighbourhoods with different characteristics. It does so by using a new, integrated dataset that incorporates neighbourhood measures from multiple sources with the Canadian Community Health Survey.

    With data from the 2019 Canadian Community Health Survey, this study assessed the use of and exposure to handheld laser devices by Canadians and the potential associated health risks. In addition to the prevalence of handheld laser exposure or use, the frequency and type of injury sustained, and whether the injury was the result of personal use or someone else's use, the study also determined the type of handheld laser device being used and where the device was obtained.

    Description: Using data from the 2003 to 2013 cycles of the Canadian Community Health Survey, this study’s objective was to characterize smoking history by sex using birth cohorts beginning in 1920. Smoking histories for each birth cohort included age at smoking initiation and cessation, which was used to construct smoking prevalence for each calendar year from 1971 to 2041. A secondary objective was to characterize smoking history by socioeconomic status.

    Description:

    This report provides results of the Health Services Access Survey (HSAS), which is now part of the Canadian Community Health Survey. The HSAS gathers comprehensive and comparable information on the patterns of use of health care services and self-reported difficulties faced by Canadians aged 15 and over in accessing health care. Data are presented for Canada as a whole and by province when sample sizes are sufficient.

    Data on waiting times for specialized services such as specialist visits for a new illness or condition, non-emergency surgeries and selected diagnostics tests are also presented.
