The January 2015 online issue of Health Reports, released today, contains two articles.
The first article, "Chronic pain, activity restriction and flourishing mental health," uses a measure of mental health (flourishing), rather than mental illness, to examine associations between pain and activity restrictions. Data from the 2011/2012 Canadian Community Health Survey were used to study the relationship between pain intensity, pain-related activity prevention, and flourishing mental health in people aged 18 or older.

The second article, "Is the injury gap closing between the Aboriginal and general populations of British Columbia?" provides an overview of trends in hospitalization injury rates between the Aboriginal and total populations of one Canadian province, British Columbia. Hospital discharge records from 1986 to 2010 were obtained from linked health care databases maintained by Population Data BC.
