This study aims to measure cancer incidence and mortality rates of Registered First Nations people in Ontario and to look at trends over time, particularly in cancer rates that are targeted by screening programs (cervical, breast, colorectal) or public health interventions (smoking). The federal Indian Register, the Ontario Cancer Registry and the Registered Persons Database were linked to develop a cohort of First Nations people diagnosed with cancer in Ontario.

Based on a common definition of pain, this analysis estimates and compares the prevalence of chronic pain among household residents aged 15 or older within and between 16 neurological conditions. The data are from the Survey on Living with Neurological Conditions in Canada, a cross-sectional national survey.

Changes in health status may affect not just the individuals who experience such changes, but also their family members. For example, if the main earner in a family loses his or her ability to generate income due to a health shock, it invariably affects the financial situation of the spouse and other dependents. In addition, spouses and working-age children may themselves increase or reduce their labour supply to make up for the lost income (“added worker effect”) or care for a sick family member (“caregiver effect”). Since consumption smoothing and self-insurance occur at the household level, the financial effects of health for other family members have important policy implications. To shed light on such effects, this study analyzes how one spouse’s cancer diagnosis affects the employment and earnings of the other spouse and (before-tax) total family income using administrative data from Canada.

This article highlights national data on the number of newly diagnosed cases of childhood cancer (incidence) and the number of deaths attributed to cancer (mortality) in children under the age of 15. Incidence data are explored by age, sex and the five most commonly diagnosed groups of childhood cancer. Due to the low number of cancer cases, five years of data, between 2006 and 2010, were combined to report the most recent results.
Release date: 2015-09-22 - 5. Is the injury gap closing between the Aboriginal and general populations of British Columbia? ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X201500114131Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
This study provides an overview of trends in hospitalization injury rates between the Aboriginal and total populations of British Columbia. Hospital discharge records from 1986 through 2010 were obtained from linked health care databases maintained by Population Data BC.
Release date: 2015-01-21 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2014362Description:
The study examines the effects of cancer on the work status and annual earnings of cancer survivors who had a strong attachment to the labour market prior to their diagnosis. The comparison group consists of similar workers never diagnosed with cancer. The study is based on a Statistics Canada linkage file that combines microdata from the 1991 Census, the Canadian Cancer Registry, mortality records and personal income tax files. The study estimates changes in the magnitude of cancer effects during the first three years following the year of the diagnosis using a large sample of cancer survivors diagnosed at ages 25 to 61. The empirical strategy combines matching and regression models to deal with observed and unobserved differences between the cancer and comparison samples, and to improve causal inference.

This paper presents estimates of obesity adjusted for certain biases in self-reported data. Adjusted estimates for adult Canadians by age, sex, and multiple levels of geography are provided using data from the 2011-2012 Canadian Community Health Survey.
Release date: 2014-05-28 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X201300711853Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study uses an area-based approach to identify acute myocardial infarction hospital patients who live in Dissemination Areas with relatively high percentages of First Nations residents. Within the patient cohort, procedures received during the hospital admission were identified.

study examines the prevalence, frequency and correlates of self-monitoring of blood glucose, based on a nationally representative sample of patients with type 2 diabetes.
Release date: 2013-06-19 - 10. Screening for Chronic Diseases Among Métis ArchivedStats in brief: 89-637-X2013001Geography: CanadaDescription:
This fact sheet explores self-reported use of preventive screening tests for diabetes, high blood pressure, and prostate, breast and cervical cancers, as reported in the 2006 Aboriginal Peoples Survey. It focuses on people aged 15 and over who self-identified as Métis. The reported use of screening tests by Métis people is compared with national guidelines. Consideration is given to those with and without a regular doctor and those living in different geographical regions. Non-Aboriginal data are provided for comparison purposes when similar questions were asked on the 2008 Canadian Community Health Survey.
