  • Articles and reports: 82-003-X202201200004
    Description:

    Canada’s COVID-19 vaccination campaign began on December 14, 2020 with the arrival of a limited number of doses which were prioritized for high-risk populations, such as the elderly, residents and staff of congregate living settings, frontline healthcare workers, and Indigenous populations. Using data from the COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage Survey (CVCS), this study’s objective was to examine sociodemographic disparities in COVID-19 vaccination uptake and intent by identifying the social and economic determinants associated with vaccination uptake among seniors aged 60 years and older (i.e., those eligible for vaccination at the time of the survey) and the determinants of vaccination intent in the entire adult population.

  • Articles and reports: 82-003-X202200900001
    Description:

    Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Canadian public health officials have mandated and recommended precautions to slow the spread of COVID-19. This study examined which population groups were less compliant with precautions, such as mask-wearing and self-isolating, and where they were located in Canada.

  • Articles and reports: 82-003-X202101100002
    Description:

    There are important information gaps concerning the prevalence and distribution of infection control practices within workplaces continuing to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Articles and reports: 82-003-X201800654970
    Description:

    Using data from the first four cycles of the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS), this study describes the prevalence of hypertension control among women and men aged 60 to 79 taking antihypertensive medication. It also examines factors that may explain some of the sex differences in hypertension control.

  • Articles and reports: 82-003-X201600114305
    Description:

    With data from the 2007 to 2011 Canadian Health Measures Survey, this study describes the CVD risk profile of Canadians aged 20 to 79, compares current treatment patterns with guideline recommendations, and examines the population health impact of statin treatment.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second cause of cancer deaths in Canada. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) have shown the efficacy of screening using faecal occult blood tests (FOBT). A comprehensive evaluation of the costs and consequences of CRC screening for the Canadian population is required before implementing such a program. This paper evaluates whether or not the CRC screening is cost-effective. The results of these simulations will be provided to the Canadian National Committee on Colorectal Cancer Screening to help formulate national policy recommendations for CRC screening.

    Statistics Canada's Population Health Microsimulation Model was updated to incorporate a comprehensive CRC screening module based on Canadian data and RCT efficacy results. The module incorporated sensitivity and specificity of FOBT and colonoscopy, participation rates, incidence, staging, diagnostic and therapeutic options, disease progression, mortality and direct health care costs for different screening scenarios. Reproducing the mortality reduction observed in the Funen screening trial validated the model.
