- 1. Measuring ecosystem goods and services in Canada ArchivedArticles and reports: 16-201-X201300011875Description:
The article "Measuring ecosystem goods and services in Canada" presents preliminary results achieved through a two-year interdepartmental project to develop experimental ecosystem accounts and the required statistical infrastructure. It provides an overview of ecosystem accounting and valuation and presents several measures of the quantity and quality of ecosystems and ecosystem goods and services (EGS). These measures focus on land cover, human landscape modification, ecosystem potential of the boreal forest, biomass extraction, marine and coastal EGS, and wetland EGS. The report also includes a case study on the Thousand Islands National Park exploring monetary valuation of EGS and concludes with a research agenda for future work on this topic.
Release date: 2013-11-29 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201301111877Geography: CanadaDescription:
This population-based analysis uses a group-based modelling approach to identify several distinct trajectories in a large, nationally representative sample of Canadian adults.
Release date: 2013-11-20 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201301011873Geography: CanadaDescription:
A computer simulation model of physical activity was developed for the Canadian adult population using longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey and cross-sectional data from the Canadian Community Health Survey. The model is based on the Population Health Model (POHEM) platform developed by Statistics Canada. This article presents an overview of POHEM and describes the additions that were made to create the physical activity module (POHEM-PA). These additions include changes in physical activity over time, and the relationship between physical activity levels and health-adjusted life expectancy, life expectancy and the onset of selected chronic conditions. Estimates from simulation projections are compared with nationally representative survey data to provide an indication of the validity of POHEM-PA.
Release date: 2013-10-16 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201300911863Geography: CanadaDescription:
Based on data from the 2012 Canadian Community Health Survey - Mental Health, this article describes the prevalence of four types of perceived mental health care (MHC) need (information, medication, counselling, and other) and the degree to which they are met in relation to risk factors for MHC needs, specifically, mental disorders, distress, or chronic physical health condition(s). Barriers to receiving MHC are also explored.
Release date: 2013-09-18 - Stats in brief: 99-012-X201100311849Description:
This NHS in Brief focuses on educational attainment (highest certificate, diploma or degree) among First Nations people, Métis and Inuit in Canada in 2011.
Release date: 2013-06-26 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201300611796Geography: CanadaDescription:
The study assesses the feasibility of using statistical modelling techniques to fill information gaps related to risk factors, specifically, smoking status, in linked long-form census data.
Release date: 2013-06-19 - 7. Dietary habits of Aboriginal children ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201300411776Geography: CanadaDescription:
Based on the results of Statistics Canada's 2006 Aboriginal Children's Survey, this article presents an overview of how often First Nations children living off reserve, Métis children and Inuit children aged 2 to 5 consume various types of food, including foods considered traditional or country among Aboriginal people.
Release date: 2013-04-17 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2013349Geography: CanadaDescription:
Canadian immigrants come from a range of source countries which vary considerably in gender roles. Examining gender roles is therefore valuable in determining whether cultural norms continue to influence labour activities after immigrants have been exposed to the new environment of their host country. This study focuses on the "portability" of gender roles for immigrant women; that is, it examines whether source-country gender roles continue to influence immigrant families' labour and housework activities after arrival in Canada.
Release date: 2013-03-28 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201300111765Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study describes how items collected from parents/guardians for a nationally representative sample of Aboriginal children (off reserve) as part of the 2006 Aboriginal Children's Survey could be used as language indicators.
