Health research opportunities using Statistics Canada integrated data











Data availability today is like nothing we have seen in the past. Statistics Canada has the capacity to gather data from a wide variety of sources, and can collect and analyse these data at a speed that is rapidly approaching real time.  Statistics Canada’s modernization agenda aims to enable
Canadians to use data to make evidence-based decisions and data integration is key to achieving this. In this talk, we will discuss the data integration products being created at Statistics Canada that are that are relevant to health sciences research. A longform census-based cohort, called the CanCHEC (Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohorts), and a CCHS-based (Canadian Community Health Survey) cohort, called the mCCHS, are comprised of survey data integrated with mortality, cancer, and hospitalization outcomes as well as annual postal code history. In this
presentation, we will provide more detail about these two cohorts and the vast potential they have for health research.  We will also provide examples from our own work, showing how we have used these integrated datasets to perform environmental health research (e.g., air pollution and cancer, greenspace and mortality).
