- Stats in brief: 11-627-M2021023Description:
This infographic represents the top three Canadian industries with the highest consumption of personal protective equipment during COVID-19 such as medical and non-medical masks, surgical and non-surgical gloves, disinfectant, disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer. The data shows the consumption for the reference period of December 2020.
Release date: 2021-03-05 - 2. Canadians’ support for random COVID-19 testing ArchivedStats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100044Description:
Given the need for timely and accurate evidence of the impact of COVID-19 in the wider population, knowledge of Canadians’ attitudes toward a strategy of random COVID-19 testing is useful information for policy makers and public health officials. This study examines the extent to which crowdsourcing participants support random testing for COVID-19, with a focus on differences by sociodemographic characteristics as well as trust levels in governments and public health authorities.
Release date: 2020-08-25 - Stats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100072Description:
While access to COVID-19 testing has become more widely available, little is known about the extent to which Canadians intend to get tested for the virus and the reasons why they would request a test. This study aims to shed light on the reasons why Canadians would get tested for COVID-19 if testing were widely available and examines whether certain groups are more likely than others to indicate that they would get tested.
Release date: 2020-08-25 - 4. Canadians’ willingness to get a COVID-19 vaccine: Group differences and reasons for vaccine hesitancy ArchivedStats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100073Description:
The development of a COVID-19 vaccine has been identified as a key factor in ending the pandemic and returning to normal activities. Although a COVID-19 vaccine is not yet available, its success will ultimately depend on the proportion of the population who are willing to be vaccinated. This study examines Canadians’ willingness to get a COVID-19 vaccine, group differences and Canadians’ reasons for not intending to get a COVID-19 vaccine are examined.
Release date: 2020-08-25 - 5. Canadians’ willingness to get a COVID-19 vaccine when one becomes available: What role does trust play? ArchivedStats in brief: 45-28-0001202000100043Description:
The development of a COVID-19 vaccine has been identified as an important factor in reopening the economy and relaxing physical distancing measures imposed as a response to the pandemic. This study examines how crowdsourcing participants’ willingness to receive a COVID-19 vaccination when one becomes available differs by their level of trust in other people, government and public health authorities.
Release date: 2020-07-07 - Stats in brief: 82-624-X201600114637Description:
This article highlights work that is being done to create laboratory reference ranges for substances measured in blood that are specific for the Canadian population. Results for two laboratory tests are presented to illustrate how reference ranges are created and how age and/or sex can influence normal values in a healthy population. This article uses data from the Canadian Health Measures Survey (2007–2011).
Release date: 2016-06-27 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201501214294Description:
This analysis employs a validated microsimulation model of breast cancer, adapted to the Canadian context, to predict health outcomes associated with different digital mammography screening strategies (including No Screening) across different age ranges. The model estimates the benefits, harms, limitations, and use of resources for each strategy.
Release date: 2015-12-16 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201501214295Description:
Using the Wisconsin Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Monitoring Network breast cancer simulation model adapted to the Canadian context, costs and quality-adjusted life years were evaluated for 11 mammography screening strategies that varied by start/stop age and screening frequency for the general population. Incremental cost-effectiveness ratios are presented, and sensitivity analyses are used to assess the robustness of model conclusions.
Release date: 2015-12-16 - 9. Trends in mammography utilization, 1981 to 1994 ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19960033015Geography: CanadaDescription:
From 1981 to 1994, the annual number of mammograms performed in Canada increased from less than 200,000 to more than 1.4 million. By 1994, about three in five women aged 40 and over reported having had a mammogram at some time in their lives. Most of the increase that occurred between 1985 and 1991 was because of greater use of mammography for breast screening. In the early 1990s, the annual numbers and rates stabilized as the number of mammograms performed on a fee-for-service basis declined slightly, while those conducted by provincial/territorial breast screening programs rose. Mammography is increasingly targeted to women aged 50-69 for whom screening is considered to be most effective. About 30% of Canadian women aged 50-69 have had a mammogram within the past year, although just one-fifth of these mammograms were obtained through provincial/territorial breast screening programs. Most mammography in Canada is provided through the fee-for-service system, although about 80% of fee-for-service mammograms are done for screening purposes, and the remaining 20% for diagnostic assessment. This article is based on administrative data provided by provincial/territorial departments of health and by breast screening programs, as well as on data from the National Population Health Survey. Some implications of mammography utilization for breast cancer incidence and mortality rates are assessed, but because of the long lead time between detection and death, it may be too early to reach definitive conclusions.
