Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS 1.1 and 2.1) immigrant profile, by sex, Canada, provinces and territories.

In 1991, the National Task Force on Health Information cited a number of issues and problems with the health information system. To respond to these issues, the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI), Statistics Canada and Health Canada joined forces to create a Health Information Roadmap. From this mandate, the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) was conceived. The CCHS is a cross-sectional survey that collects information related to health status, health care utilization and health determinants for the Canadian population. The survey is offered in both official languages. It relies upon a large sample of respondents and is designed to provide reliable estimates at the health region level every 2 years. The CCHS has the following objectives: Support health surveillance programs by providing health data at the national, provincial and intra-provincial levels Provide a single data source for health research on small populations and rare characteristics Timely release of information easily accessible to a diverse community of users Create a flexible survey instrument that includes a rapid response option to address emerging issues related to the health of the population The CCHS produces an annual microdata file and a file combining two years of data. The CCHS collection years with both consistent design and consistent population representation can also be combined by users to examine populations or rare characteristics. The primary use of the CCHS data is for health surveillance and population health research. Federal and provincial departments of health and human resources, social service agencies, and other types of government agencies use the information collected from respondents to monitor, plan, implement and evaluate programs to improve the health of Canadians. Researchers from various fields use the information to conduct research to improve health. Non-profit health organizations and the media use the CCHS results to raise awareness about health, an issue of concern to all Canadians.

An overview of the content of the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS), the 2015 redesign, and content changes over the years.

The Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) is a cross-sectional survey that collects information related to health status, health care utilization and health determinants for the Canadian population. It surveys a large sample of respondents and is designed to provide reliable estimates at the health region level. In 2007, major changes were made to the CCHS design. Data is now collected on an ongoing basis with annual releases, rather than every two years as was the case prior to 2007. The survey's objectives were also revised and are as follows: support health surveillance programs by providing health data at the national, provincial and intra-provincial levels; provide a single data source for health research on small populations and rare characteristics; timely release of information easily accessible to a diverse community of users; and create a flexible survey instrument that includes a rapid response option to address emerging issues related to the health of the population.

The CCHS is a comprehensive look at mental health with respect to who is affected by selected mental disorders as well as positive mental health. It will also examine access to and utilization of formal and informal mental health care services and supports. It will look at how people are functioning regardless of whether they have a mental health problem. The objectives of the CCHS - Mental Health are: To assess the mental health status of Canadians on both illness and positive mental health continuums through selected mental and substance disorders, mental health problems, and well-being; To assess timely, adequate, and appropriate access to and utilization of formal and informal mental health services and supports as well as perceived needs; To assess functioning, ability and disability in relation to mental health and illness; To examine links between mental health and social, demographic, geographic, and economic variables or characteristics (covariates); and To evaluate changes in patterns of mental health, service use, and functioning from the 2002 CCHS on Mental Health and Well-being.

The Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) is a cross-sectional survey that collects information related to health status, health care utilization and health determinants for the Canadian population. The CCHS operates ona two-year collection cycle. The first year of the survey cycle .1 is a large sample, general population health survey, designed to provide reliable estimates at the health region level. The second year of the survey cycle.2 is a smaller survey designed to provide provincial level results on specific focused health topics. This Microdata File contains data collected in the first year of collection for the CCHS (Cycle 1.1). Information was collected between September 2000 and November 2001, for 136 health regions, covering all provinces and territories. The CCHS (Cycle 1.1) collects responses from persons aged 12 or older, living in private occupied dwellings. Excluded from the sampling frame are individuals living on Indian Reserves and on Crown Lands, institutional residents, full-time members of the Canadian Armed Forces, and residents of certain remote regions.
