  • 1. Inequalities in access to primary care services and health insurance in Black adults in Canada
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202600700001
    Description: Previous research has shown that Black adults in Canada experience higher cause-specific mortality and differential rates of diagnosis and hospitalization compared with White adults. These disparities may reflect underlying differences in access to health care. This study used pooled data from the annual Canadian Community Health Survey from 2015 to 2019 to assess whether inequalities in access to primary and pharmaceutical health care exist between Black and White adults in Canada and sought to identify how specific factors contribute to observed inequalities.

  • 2. Validating the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale for the positive mental health surveillance of adults in Canada
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202600300002
    Description: The accurate monitoring of population mental health requires repeated assessments using valid and reliable measures. The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) and its short form (SWEMWBS) are widely used positive mental health (PMH) measures. This study used cross-sectional data from the 2024 Canadian Community Health Survey – Rapid Response on Sleep Quality and Positive Mental Health to test the validity of the WEMWBS and the SWEMWBS among Canadian adults.

  • 3. Contraception use among sexually active women wanting to avoid pregnancy
    Articles and reports: 45-20-00022025001
    Description: Using data from the 2019 and 2020 Canadian Community Health Survey, this study examines the prevalence of contraception use among sexually active women wanting to avoid pregnancy. Specifically, this study highlights the proportion of women wanting to avoid pregnancy who reported that they and their partner used contraception the last time they had sex, as well as the methods of contraception used. Where possible, results are disaggregated by various characteristics (e.g., immigrant status, age, rurality status) to shed light on contraception use among diverse groups of women in Canada.

  • 4. Mapping the Washington Group on Disability Statistics Disability Measure to the Health Utilities Index Mark 3: Development and Testing of Qualitative and Predictive Multivariable Models in a General Population Sample
    Articles and reports: 11-633-X2025001
    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.

  • 5. Mapping the Washington Group on Disability Statistics disability measure to the Health Utilities Index Mark 3: Development and validation of a predictive multivariable model in a general population sample
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500100001
    Description: Statistics Canada collects information on functional health and related concepts. Recently, the Washington Group on Disability Statistics (WG) measure of disability has been introduced to the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS).

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.

  • 6. Sociodemographic differences in recreational screen time before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400500001
    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.

  • 7. The ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on physical activity and screen time among Canadian youth
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202301000001
    Description: The COVID-19 pandemic had a detrimental impact on the physical activity and screen time of youth, in particular among girls. Using The Canadian Community Health Survey, the purpose of this study is to give an update on the screen time and physical activity habits of Canadian youth in 2021 by providing a comparison with values previously reported before and during the first year of the pandemic. This study takes a focused look at how the physical activity and screen time of boys and girls were affected differently.

    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202301000002
    Description: Canadian and international research have shown that the COVID-19 pandemic led to changes in health behaviours, including participation in physical activity and screen time. Using The Canadian Community Health Survey, the purpose of this study is to compare screen time and physical activity before and during the 2020 and 2021 pandemic years among Canadian adults and older adults.

  • 9. Self-reported concussions in Canada: A cross-sectional study
    Articles and reports: 82-003-X202300600002
    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.
