New data on discrimination are now available for custom requests from the rapid response component of the Canadian Community Health Survey – Annual Component.
Note to readers
The data were collected from all provinces between July and October 2013. This module is a slightly revised version of the Everyday Discrimination Scale developed by Dr. David R. Williams in 1997. Respondents were asked about their perception of discrimination in their day-to-day life because of various characteristics such as their ethnicity, sex, age and weight. The module also includes questions about perception of discrimination in their experiences with health care services. The addition of these questions to the Canadian Community Health Survey was sponsored by the Public Health Agency of Canada.
