Canadian National Population Health Survey - 2000/01


   Results from the fourth cycle of the National Population Health Survey
(NPHS), 2000/01, household component is now available. Begun in 1994/95 and
conducted every two years, the NPHS is a longitudinal survey on the health
status, determinants and outcomes, as well as related socio-demographic
characteristics of Canadians living in households.

   The NPHS household panel consists of 17,276 respondents across
the 10 provinces. It provides provincial and national level information on a
wide range of health determinants, risk factors and outcomes, such as alcohol
consumption, smoking, chronic conditions, health care utilization,
self-perceived health status, height, weight, physical activities, restriction
of activities, stress and mastery. The socio-demographic module provides age,
sex, household composition, income, and labour force related information. The
NPHS is a key source of information for researchers, policy analysts and
decision makers.

   Several analytical articles containing detailed findings from the
longitudinal NPHS data will appear in an upcoming issue of Health reports
(82-003-XIE, $15/$44; 82-003-XPE, $20/$58) later this year. See How to order
publications.
