Data
The data used to create this interactive web application is from the following data table:
Additional information
Indicators identified as fully aligned share the same concept, measurement, and data source as the corresponding Quality of Life (QoL) indicator. These indicators are coded as “Yes” in the tool.
Indicators identified as partially aligned share the same concept as the corresponding QoL indicator, but are a different expression of the indicator, or use a different data source. For example, for Perceived mental health, QoL defines it as “Proportion of the population by perceived mental health” whereas the Canadian Indicator Framework (CIF) defines it as “Percentage of Canadians who perceived their mental health as very good to excellent”. Because the CIF specifies “very good to excellent” mental health, these indicators were tagged as partially aligned. These indicators are coded as “Partial” in the tool.
Indicators identified as not aligned signify different indicators, or indicators that share a similar concept with a different measurement. For example, QoL includes an indicator on Cyberbullying whereas the CIF includes an indicator on Incidence of cyber-crime. These indicators cover related concepts, but have different definitions, measurements and data sources. These indicators are coded as “No” in the tool.
Indicators identified as not applicable denote instances where the framework does not include a comparable indicator to the corresponding QoL indicator. For example, QoL includes an indicator on Sense of meaning and purpose which is not typically found in other frameworks. These indicators are coded as “Not applicable” in the tool.
Indicators identified as to be determined refer to QoL indicators that are under development. These indicators are coded as “To be determined” in the tool.
How to use
How to use this interactive visual
The Quality of Life Indicator Alignment Tool maps the alignment of indicators between the Quality of Life (QoL) Framework and other selected Government of Canada frameworks. The tool also demonstrates the level of alignment (e.g., fully aligned, partially aligned, not aligned, not applicable). The tool enables users to filter results by framework, domain or indicator. The tool may be updated in the future with additional frameworks.
It is important to note that this tool centers around alignment of QoL Framework indicators. The mapping of indicators not found in the QoL Framework is out of scope for this tool.
How to use this tool:
- Filter by framework, domain(s), or indicator(s) using the filter button in the top right.
- The Aligned Indicators box shows the number of indicators aligned with the QoL Framework (e.g., fully and/or partially aligned).
- To view QoL indicator definitions, hover over the indicator name in the central table. Please note that some indicators appear multiple times, each corresponding to a distinct sub-indicator, as reflected in the hover text.
