- 1. Report on Smoking Prevalence in Canada ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 82F0077XGeography: CanadaDescription:
The objective of this working paper series is to analyse the comparability of surveys conducted by Statistics Canada on smoking, to highlight the changes in the data among data years and to illustrate their statistical significance. The aim is to clarify any confusion regarding comparability of survey estimates of smoking prevalence and daily cigarette consumption over this period, as well as to provide the user-requested data in a technical but understandable format.
Release date: 2002-12-16 - 2. Moderate alcohol consumption and heart disease ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20020016342Geography: CanadaDescription:
Women who reported moderate drinking, that is, two to nine drinks in the past week, had significantly lower odds of receiving a new diagnosis of or dying from heart disease between 1994-95 and 1998-99, compared with women who reported lifetime abstinence from alcohol. No such protective association emerged for men over this period.
Release date: 2002-10-03 - 3. Regional socio-economic context and health ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-S200200113264Geography: CanadaDescription:
The study examined the characteristics of people who reported their health as poor or fair in the Canadian Community Health Survey of 2000/01. The results expand on the conclusions of an article titled "The health of Canada's communities," released in The daily on July 4. That article found that self-perceived health status differed substantially between health regions and that regional socio-economic factors were clearly associated with average health status in each region. People living in large metropolitan areas and urban centres, where education levels are high, had the highest life expectancies in all of Canada. At the other end of the spectrum, people living in remote northern communities, where education levels are lower, had poorer health.
This new article examines the extent to which this regional variation is attributable to the composition of the population within each health region, rather than to the socio-economic context of the region.
Release date: 2002-07-04 - Articles and reports: 82-003-S20020016323Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article compares the off-reserve Aboriginal population with the rest of the Canadian population in terms of health status, health behaviours, and health care utilization.
Release date: 2002-07-04 - 5. The health of Canada's communities ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-S20020016330Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines the health of Canadians at the community level. Canada's 139 health regions are grouped into 10 "peer groups" with similar socio-demographic profiles. Health outcomes and risk factors are compared between and within peer groups.
Release date: 2002-07-04 - Articles and reports: 82-003-S20020016335Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article compares the health of immigrants at different times since immigration with that of the Canadian-born population, in terms of chronic conditions in general, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer. Health behaviour outcomes are also explored, as is their role in explaining observed health outcomes.
Release date: 2002-07-04 - 7. Fruit and vegetable consumption ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20010036103Geography: CanadaDescription:
Low frequency of fruit and vegetable consumption is associated with other risky health behaviours or conditions, such as physical inactivity, smoking, obesity and alcohol-dependence. Women reported eating fruit and vegetables more often than did men.
Release date: 2002-03-13 - 8. Community belonging and health ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X20010036105Geography: CanadaDescription:
An individual's sense of belonging to his or her local community is associated with self-perceived health. Individuals who felt very strongly connected had nearly twice the odds of reporting excellent or very good health, compared with those who reported a weak sense of community belonging.
Release date: 2002-03-13 - Articles and reports: 12-001-X20010026090Geography: Census metropolitan areaDescription:
The number of calls in a telephone survey is used as an indicator of how difficult an intended respondent is to reach. This permits a probabilistic division of the non-respondents into non-susceptibles (those who will always refuse to respond), and the susceptible non-respondents (those who were not available to respond) in a model of the non-response. Further, it permits stochastic estimation of the views of the latter group and an evaluation of whether the non-response is ignorable for inference about the dependent variable. These ideas are implemented on the data from a survey in Metropolitan Toronto of attitudes toward smoking in the workplace. Using a Bayesian model, the posterior distribution of the model parameters is sampled by Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods. The results reveal that the non-response is not ignorable and those who do not respond are twice as likely to favor unrestricted smoking in the workplace as are those who do.
