Abstract:

The CCHS consists of two distinct cross-sectional surveys conducted over a recurring two-year cycle. The cycle's first survey, known as the regional or general component, is designed to collect data from a sample large enough to provide data specific to each of Canada's 100+ health regions. This survey provides a wide range of information, arrayed in sets of core, optional, and sub-sample modules. In the second year, the focus survey, the CCHS collects in-depth provincial-level information on a specific topic. The CCHS is designed to reach a wider, more diversified user base than any earlier population health surveys. The comprehensive dissemination strategy implemented to this effect includes the provision of microdata to various share partners, as well as public use microdata, filtered to avoid disclosure issues yet detailed enough to allow sophisticated analysis. The internet is also put to contribution. This paper looks at the content and dissemination of the first two complete cycles of the CCHS: the 2000-01 general, the 2002 on mental health and well-being, the in-processing 2003 general, and the in-collection 2004 focus on nutrition.
