Cycling is the fastest growing mode of transportation in many Canadian communities and has experienced major boosts during the COVID pandemic. While there have been recent efforts to develop national measures of active living environments for walking and for transit in Canada, there are no corresponding measures for cycling environments. The goal of this study is to develop the first national dataset in Canada for Dissemination area -level metrics of the cycling environment: the Canadian Bikeway Comfort and Safety metrics. This will help develop area-level metrics of the cycling environment for all of Canada.

In 2018, Canada legalized the use and sale of non-medical cannabis, with most provinces also permitting home cultivation. To advance the knowledge of home cultivation patterns in Canada within the context of legalization, this study examines (1) the demographics and use patterns of cannabis home growers before and after legalization and (2) the relationship between home cultivation and cannabis-related risks, including workplace use and driving after cannabis use.

Canadian and international research has shown that the COVID-19 pandemic has led to changes in health behaviours, including physical activity. The purpose of this study is to compare physical activity before and during the COVID-19 pandemic by comparing the September through December 2020 data from the 2020 The Canadian Community Health Survey to October through December data from the 2018 CCHS. This study examines this comparison through a health equity lens to illustrate the differential impact across the Canadian population in the domain of physical activity.

This study provides an update on the sleep behaviours (duration, quality, work and free day variability, and timing) of Canadian adults and how they align with recommendations from the 24-Hour Movement Guidelines. It also examines the proportion of adults meeting sleep duration recommendations based on sociodemographic characteristics, sleep behaviours, physical activity and screen time.

The retail food environment is a modifiable component of the built environment which has the potential to contribute to improvements in the diets of Canadians at the population level. It is defined by geographic access to different types of retail food sources, including restaurants and food stores. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and validation of the Canadian Food Environment Dataset (Can-FED): a pan-Canadian dataset of retail food environment measures at the dissemination area (DA) level using food outlet data from the 2018 Statistics Canada Business Register.
Release date: 2022-02-16 - 6. Loneliness in Canada ArchivedStats in brief: 11-627-M2021090Description:
This infographic uses data from the Canadian Social Survey to look at loneliness. It shows that loneliness is prevalent across Canada and that the share of people in Canada who reported high levels of loneliness varies based on age group, gender and marital status. It also shows that those who are lonely report worse mental health and lower life satisfaction. Loneliness is an indicator in Canada's Quality of Life Framework.

While lockdown periods and physical distancing measures are fundamental in reducing virus transmission, prolonged restrictions may lead to reduced engagement in physical activity and exercise. This article examines changes in reported physical activity from before to during the COVID-19 pandemic. More specifically, it examines changes in the proportion of Canadians meeting physical activity guidelines, as well as changes in the types of physical activity reported. The article explores differences between youth (aged 12 to 17), adults (aged 18 to 64) and older adults (aged 65 and over).

Various studies have shown that children from socioeconomically disadvantaged families are more likely to have poorer outcomes than children from more advantaged families and that such gaps could be reduced by participating in early learning and child care (ELCC). Using the 2019 Survey on Early Learning and Child Care Arrangements, a nationally representative survey that provides the most updated and detailed information on child care for children aged 0 to 5 years, this study examines the patterns of ELCC participation among families with potential socioeconomic disadvantages in Canada.

Researchers, policy makers, and urban planners require tools to better understand the complex relationship between gentrification and health. The Gentrification, Urban Interventions and Equity (GENUINE) tool is an open-access, map-based tool that allows users to explore measures of gentrification for Canadian cities and incorporate them into their work. The objective of this paper is to present GENUINE and describe gentrification patterns by these measures for all Canadian census metropolitan areas (CMAs) from 2006 to 2016. GENUINE is a set of four gentrification measures that reflect the diversity of approaches to gentrification and the lack of consensus around how to measure it. Insights are also provided on how this tool can be used in population health research and by policy makers.

Using data from the 2003 to 2013 cycles of the Canadian Community Health Survey, this study’s objective was to characterize smoking history by sex using birth cohorts beginning in 1920. Smoking histories for each birth cohort included age at smoking initiation and cessation, which was used to construct smoking prevalence for each calendar year from 1971 to 2041. A secondary objective was to characterize smoking history by socioeconomic status.
