- 1. Alcohol and illicit drug dependence ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-S20040007447Geography: CanadaDescription:
In this article, the prevalence of alcohol and illicit drug dependence is estimated. Relationships between alcohol and illicit drug use and depression are analysed.
Release date: 2004-12-23 - Articles and reports: 11-008-X20040037733Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article provides a broad snapshot of the outlooks and activities of Canadians in 2003 in three areas: a sense of belonging to Canada, to their province, and to their community; confidence in public institutions such as the health care system and the federal parliament; and trust in others. It is an adaptation of 2003 General Social Survey on Social Engagement, Cycle 17: An Overview of Findings (Statistics Canada Catalogue no. 89-598-XWE).
Release date: 2004-12-07 - Articles and reports: 82-618-M2004001Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article reports smoking trends over the past decade for the Canadian population aged 18 or older. Based on longitudinal data from the National Population Health Survey, the article examines smoking cessation and relapse in relation to level of addiction, smoke-free environments, vascular and respiratory chronic conditions and psychosocial factors such as stress and social support.

Release date: 2004-10-29 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2004228Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study examines the relationship between individuals' health status and the socio-economic composition of the neighbourhoods in which they live. It combines individual microdata from Statistics Canada's 1996-97 National Population Health Survey (NPHS) with neighbourhood-level characteristics estimated from the 1996 Census of Canada.
Release date: 2004-09-27 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X20020016712Description:
In this paper, we consider the effect of the interval censoring of cessation time on intensity parameter estimation with regard to smoking cessation and pregnancy. The three waves of the National Population Health Survey allow the methodology of event history analysis to be applied to smoking initiation, cessation and relapse. One issue of interest is the relationship between smoking cessation and pregnancy. If a longitudinal respondent who is a smoker at the first cycle ceases smoking by the second cycle, we know the cessation time to within an interval of length at most a year, since the respondent is asked for the age at which she stopped smoking, and her date of birth is known. We also know whether she is pregnant at the time of the second cycle, and whether she has given birth since the time of the first cycle. For many such subjects, we know the date of conception to within a relatively small interval. If we knew the time of smoking cessation and pregnancy period exactly for each member who experienced one or other of these events between cycles, we could model their temporal relationship through their joint intensities.
Release date: 2004-09-13 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X20020016720Geography: CanadaDescription:
The objective of this study was to analyse the influence of community on individual health. The new Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) was used to derive individual health variables for Canadian residents aged 18 or older while community-level data were obtained from the Canadian 1996 Census of Population. Weighted logistic multilevel models and principal component analysis were used to analyse these data. After controlling for individual variables, there was little variation between communities. However, the influence of the community was more important for people with low family income than those with higher income.
Release date: 2004-09-13 - 8. Use of cannabis and other illicit drugs ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20030046976Geography: CanadaDescription:
Cannabis use has increased over the past decade.
Males, teenagers and young adults were most likely to have used cannabis in the past year.
Cocaine/Crack was the second most commonly used illicit drug.
Release date: 2004-07-21 - 9. Pregnancy and smoking ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20030046981Geography: CanadaDescription:
- About 17% of women who had a baby in the past five years smoked while they were pregnant, and 17% of women who did not smoke during pregnancy had regularly been exposed to others' smoking.
- Smoking and exposure to smoking during pregnancy is most common among women younger than 25.
- Regular exposure to others' smoking increased the risk that a woman would smoke while she was pregnant.
Release date: 2004-07-21 - Articles and reports: 11-008-X20040016879Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines gambling behaviour and socio-economic characteristics of non-problem, at-risk and problem gamblers. It also discusses issues associated with problem gambling. It uses data from the Canadian Community Health Survey (Mental Health and Well-being).
