- Articles and reports: 11-522-X20050019477Description:
Using probabilistic data linkage, an integrated database of injuries is obtained by linking on some subset of various key variables or their derivatives: names (given names, surnames and alternative names), age, sex, birthdate, phone numbers, injury date, unique identification numbers, diagnosis. To assess the quality of the links produced, false positive rates and false negative rates are computed. These rates however do not give an indication of whether the databases used for linking have undercounted injuries (bias). It is of interest to an injury researcher moreover, to have some idea of the error margin for the figures generated from integrating various injury databases, similar to what one would get in a survey for instance.

Release date: 2005-11-16 - 54. The changing health of immigrants ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-008-X20050028454Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using longitudinal data from Statistics Canada's National Population Health Survey (NPHS), this article assesses the health impact of the immigration process, as individuals adjust to life in Canada, by comparing changes in immigrants' self-perceived health status, health care use, and health-related behaviours with those of the Canadian-born population. Information was collected from the same individuals over an eight-year period from 1994-1995 to 2002-2003.
Release date: 2005-09-13 - 55. Hierarchical Bayesian nonignorable nonresponse regression models for small areas: An application to the NHANES data ArchivedArticles and reports: 12-001-X20050018089Description:
We use hierarchical Bayesian models to analyze body mass index (BMI) data of children and adolescents with nonignorable nonresponse from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III). Our objective is to predict the finite population mean BMI and the proportion of respondents for domains formed by age, race and sex (covariates in the regression models) in each of thirty five large counties, accounting for the nonrespondents. Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are used to fit the models (two selection and two pattern mixture) to the NHANES III BMI data. Using a deviance measure and a cross-validation study, we show that the nonignorable selection model is the best among the four models. We also show that inference about BMI is not too sensitive to the model choice. An improvement is obtained by including a spline regression into the selection model to reflect changes in the relationship between BMI and age.
Release date: 2005-07-21 - 56. Shorter hospital stays for breast cancer ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20040017038Geography: CanadaDescription:

Release date: 2004-10-19 - 57. Inflammatory bowel disease: Hospitalization ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20030046975Geography: CanadaDescription:
Since the early 1980s, the overall hospitalization rate in Canada has fallen sharply, but the rate for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been stable. To some degree, this stability during an era of decline reflects the high rate of readmission among IBD patients, with more than 20% having at least two hospital stays during the course of a year.
Release date: 2004-07-21 - 58. Influenza vaccination ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20030026830Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 2000/01, 28% of Canadians aged 20 or older reported having had a flu shot in the previous year, up from 16% in 1996/97. Close to two-thirds of seniors and one-half of people with chronic conditions had been vaccinated. Among the minority of seniors who did not get a flu shot, the main reason for not getting a shot was that they thought it was unnecessary.

Release date: 2003-09-09 - Articles and reports: 82-005-X20020036573Geography: CanadaDescription:
This analysis integrates data for age at smoking initiation, smoking patterns (ever/never smokers), and number of cigarettes smoked by age and gender from 13 Canadian population-based health surveys. Data for cohorts of individuals born between 1910 and 1985 were combined into a single dataset to analyze changes in smoking behaviour.The proportion of males and females who stated that they were current smokers declined considerably over the years; the proportion labelling themselves as former smokers has increased; and recent cohorts are smoking fewer cigarettes than those born earlier in the century. Although prevalence rates vary across birth cohorts, the pattern of use within each cohort is fairly similar, peaking during the middle years.Females are now starting to smoke at a much younger age than females born early in the twentieth century. Males are starting at a slightly younger age than in earlier cohorts. Since the first survey, more males than females have consistently stated that they were current smokers, although this gap has closed over time. The most recent survey data suggest that the gender gap for age at initiation and smoking rates is now very modest.This analysis contributes information about smoking patterns over time to a large integrative framework about population health in Canada: the Population Health Impact of Disease, Injury, and Health Determinants in Canada (PHI).

- Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400200001Description: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted several issues among health care workers in Canada’s long-term care and seniors’ (LTCS) homes, including labour shortages, staff retention difficulties, overcrowding, and precarious working conditions. There is currently a lack of information on the health, well-being, and working conditions of health care workers in LTCS homes—many of them immigrants—and a limited understanding of the relationship between them. Using data from the 2021 Survey on Health Care Workers’ Experiences During the Pandemic, this paper examines differences between immigrant and non-immigrant workers’ health outcomes and precarious working conditions during the pandemic.Release date: 2024-02-21
