10. Small area benchmarked estimation under the basic unit level model when the sampling rates are non-negligible
Articles and reports: 12-001-X202100100007
Description:
We consider the estimation of a small area mean under the basic unit-level model. The sum of the resulting model-dependent estimators may not add up to estimates obtained with a direct survey estimator that is deemed to be accurate for the union of these small areas. Benchmarking forces the model-based estimators to agree with the direct estimator at the aggregated area level. The generalized regression estimator is the direct estimator that we benchmark to. In this paper we compare small area benchmarked estimators based on four procedures. The first procedure produces benchmarked estimators by ratio adjustment. The second procedure is based on the empirical best linear unbiased estimator obtained under the unit-level model augmented with a suitable variable that ensures benchmarking. The third procedure uses pseudo-empirical estimators constructed with suitably chosen sampling weights so that, when aggregated, they agree with the reliable direct estimator for the larger area. The fourth procedure produces benchmarked estimators that are the result of a minimization problem subject to the constraint given by the benchmark condition. These benchmark procedures are applied to the small area estimators when the sampling rates are non-negligible. The resulting benchmarked estimators are compared in terms of relative bias and mean squared error using both a design-based simulation study as well as an example with real survey data.

2. Qualitative Testing of Aboriginal Identification Questions
Journals and periodicals: 89-639-X
Geography: Canada
Description:
Beginning in late 2006, the Social and Aboriginal Statistics Division of Statistics Canada embarked on the process of review of questions used in the Census and in surveys to produce data about Aboriginal peoples (North American Indian, Métis and Inuit). This process is essential to ensure that Aboriginal identification questions are valid measures of contemporary Aboriginal identification, in all its complexity. Questions reviewed included the following (from the Census 2B questionnaire):- the Ethnic origin / Aboriginal ancestry question;- the Aboriginal identity question;- the Treaty / Registered Indian question; and- the Indian band / First Nation Membership question.
Additional testing was conducted on Census questions with potential Aboriginal response options: the population group question (also known as visible minorities), and the Religion question. The review process to date has involved two major steps: regional discussions with data users and stakeholders, and qualitative testing. The regional discussions with over 350 users of Aboriginal data across Canada were held in early 2007 to examine the four questions used on the Census and other surveys of Statistics Canada. Data users included National Aboriginal organizations, Aboriginal Provincial and Territorial Organizations, Federal, Provincial and local governments, researchers and Aboriginal service organizations. User feedback showed that main areas of concern were data quality, undercoverage, the wording of questions, and the importance of comparability over time.

3. New Frontiers of Research on Retirement Archived
Journals and periodicals: 75-511-X
Geography: Canada
Description:
This book is designed to contribute to the foundation of basic information that leaders and researchers will need when they begin to devote much more time and resources to the institutional adjustments that the up-coming wave of retirements among baby boomers will require. Its contents deal with aspects of retirement that have been outside the main focus in the research literature, but which will likely receive much greater attention in the future. These aspects include social issues arising from the emergence of a large number of people who form a substantial proportion of the adult population and whose length of time in retirement will be as long as that of a generation, roughly 25 years; women's retirement; family dynamics and retirement; and retirement processes among people with no career job as conventionally defined. A large part of the book is devoted to scientific papers that are based upon Statistics Canada's data and which require substantial innovations of useful concepts and data series that serve to illustrate the potentials of our data.

6. Findings from the 2005 National Survey of the Work and Health of Nurses Archived
Journals and periodicals: 83-003-X
Geography: Canada
Description:
The 2005 National Survey of the Work and Health of Nurses (NSWHN) is the first nationally representative survey to focus on the working conditions and health of Canada's nurses. Registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and registered psychiatric nurses (RPNs) in all provinces and territories shared their perceptions on a variety of topics, including:- workload- working overtime, whether paid or unpaid- adverse events such as medication errors and patient falls- support and respect from co-workers and supervisors- staffing adequacy- working relations with physicians- their own chronic diseases and injuries- their mental health.
The 2005 NSWHN was developed in collaboration with organizations representing practicing nurses, health care researchers, health information specialists and federal government departments. The survey was conducted by Statistics Canada in partnership with the Canadian Institute for Health Information and Health Canada. A total of 18,676 nurses were interviewed, representing LPNs, RNs and RPNs in a variety of health care settings and in all provinces and territories. The survey's impressive response rate of 80% reflects the enthusiasm and support of nurses across the country.
The survey collected information on a rich array of topics reflecting the physical and emotional challenges nurses face in delivering patient care today. Nurses answered many questions about the quality of patient care, working relations with co-workers and managers, the amount of time they work to get their jobs done, and the way they feel about their jobs and careers as nurses. Data from the 2005 NSWHN will provide an invaluable resource for researchers, health care providers, policy makers and anyone with an interest in human resources, particularly in the health care field.

10. Special Study on Mentally Disordered Accused and the Criminal Justice System Archived
Journals and periodicals: 85-559-X
Geography: Canada
Description:
The policy and processes involving mentally disordered accused can be complex. Persons found unfit to stand trial, or not criminally responsible for their actions on account of a mental disorder, come into contact with both the health and justice systems. With the increasing availability over the past two to three decades of psychotropic medication for mentally disordered persons, the health system is now able to treat this group in a non-institutionalized setting. Similarly, dispositions made by the court, when the accused has been found either unfit to stand trial or else not criminally responsible for their actions, have shifted from indeterminate incarceration to minimal detention and community-based treatment. This document reviews the processes undertaken by persons identified as mentally disordered in court and identifies potential data-collection opportunities.
