  • 1. Bipolar disorder, social support and work Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-003-S20040007443
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Estimates of the prevalence of symptoms consistent with bipolar I disorder among Canadians aged 15 or older are presented. Factors associated with employment among people who have the disorder are analysed.

  • 2. Provincial variation in reading scores of 15-year-olds Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-008-X20040037735
    Geography: Province or territory
    Description:

    This article examines the variation between Canada's provinces in the literacy skills of 15-year-old students using data from the 2000 Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). It also looks at family background and school factors as potential explanations for these differences. The article has been adapted from Variation in literacy skills among Canadian provinces: Findings from the OECD PISA, Education, Skills and Learning Research Papers, no. 12 (Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 81-595-MIE2004012).

  • 3. The Evolution of the Gender Earnings Gap Amongst Canadian University Graduates Archived
    Articles and reports: 11F0019M2004235
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This paper reports the results of an empirical analysis of the gender earnings gap among recent Canadian bachelor-level university graduates. Hours of work are the single most important influence on the gap; past work experience, job characteristics, family status, province of residence, and language have smaller and more mixed effects.

  • 4. Joint Canada/United States Survey of Health 2002-2003 Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-005-X20040027421
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This article summarizes results from the Joint Canada/United States Survey of Health 2002-2003 (JCUSH). Conducted by Statistics Canada and the US National Center for Health Statistics of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the JCUSH collected comprehensive information on health status and access to health care services using a single survey and a standard approach in both countries.

  • 5. Housing costs of elderly families Archived
    Articles and reports: 75-001-X200410713124
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This article examines housing costs within the context of income and assets, focusing on elderly homeowners but including younger families and renters for comparison. The low-income dimension is also explored.

  • 6. Neighbourhood Characteristics and Distribution of Crime in Winnipeg Archived
    Articles and reports: 85-561-M2004004
    Geography: Census metropolitan area
    Description:

    This research paper explores the spatial distribution of crime and various social, economic and physical neighbourhood characteristics in Winnipeg. Analysis is based on police-reported crime data from the 2001 Incident-based Uniform Crime Reporting Survey, the 2001 Census of Population, and City of Winnipeg land-use data.

  • 7. Modelling the impacts of colorectal cancer screening in Canada using POHEM Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X20020016722
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second cause of cancer deaths in Canada. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) have shown the efficacy of screening using faecal occult blood tests (FOBT). A comprehensive evaluation of the costs and consequences of CRC screening for the Canadian population is required before implementing such a program. This paper evaluates whether or not the CRC screening is cost-effective. The results of these simulations will be provided to the Canadian National Committee on Colorectal Cancer Screening to help formulate national policy recommendations for CRC screening.

    Statistics Canada's Population Health Microsimulation Model was updated to incorporate a comprehensive CRC screening module based on Canadian data and RCT efficacy results. The module incorporated sensitivity and specificity of FOBT and colonoscopy, participation rates, incidence, staging, diagnostic and therapeutic options, disease progression, mortality and direct health care costs for different screening scenarios. Reproducing the mortality reduction observed in the Funen screening trial validated the model.

  • 8. Optimal calibration estimators in survey sampling Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-522-X20020016734
    Description:

    According to recent literature, the calibration method has gained much popularity on survey sampling and calibration estimators are routinely computed by many survey organizations. The choice of calibration variables for all existing approaches, however, remains ad hoc. In this article, we show that the model-calibration estimator for the finite population mean, which was proposed by Wu and Sitter (2001) through an intuitive argument, is indeed optimal among a class of calibration estimators. We further present optimal calibration estimators for the finite population distribution function, the population variance, variance of a linear estimator and other quadratic finite population functions under a unified framework. A limited simulation study shows that the improvement of these optimal estimators over the conventional ones can be substantial. The question of when and how auxiliary information can be used for both the estimation of the population mean using a generalized regression estimator and the estimation of its variance through calibration is addressed clearly under the proposed general methodology. Constructions of proposed estimators under two-phase sampling and some fundamental issues in using auxiliary information from survey data are also addressed under the context of optimal estimation.

  • 9. Health state preference scores for Canadians Archived
    Articles and reports: 82-005-X20040017000
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This newsletter article describes the process and preliminary results of eliciting scores from small groups of lay Canadians about their relative preference for a health state compared with full health. Health preference measurement helps assess the relative impact of diseases on health-related quality of life. This is part of the Population Health Impact of Disease in Canada (PHI) research program.

How do I refine my search?

  • You can enter keywords in the search box. It is not necessary to use “+” or “, “ or “AND”.

  • You can delete some or all of the keywords from your search string.

  • Quotes around keywords limit the search to a specific phrase.

    • For example, “labour force survey” will limit results to products containing this phrase.

  • Use “or” between keywords to obtain results that contain one or more search terms.

    • For example, labour or­ force or survey will limit results to products containing any or all of these words.

How does the search work?

  • This search looks for results that have your query term in the title, description, subject, geography, product number or other information about the product.

    • For example, when searching the term ‘Diseases’, all results with the word ‘Diseases’ in the title, description or tagged the subject appear.

  • The text within an article or publication are not searched. For full text searching of articles, use the site search.

Sort help

How are the results ordered?

The Sort by feature provides three options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
  • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
  • By title – sorts results alphabetically.

The Sort by feature provides four options:

  • By date – sorts results by product release date starting with the most recent.
  • By most popular – gives priority to results that are most frequently selected by users, followed by the most recent.
  • By relevance is only needed or beneficial when you use the search box and submit a search query. Results are ordered by a combination of where the search term appears in the content, e.g., if it appears in the title, it likely means the product is more relevant to your search; how up to date or new the content in the product is; how popular the product is; and other factors.
