National Population Health Survey overview
Abstract
This is an overview of the first release of data from Statistics Canada's National
Population Health Survey (NPHS). The NPHS has been designed to measure the health
status of Canadians, and in so doing, expand knowledge of the determinants of
health. This overview illustrates the variety of information available by presenting
data on perceived health, chronic conditions, injuries, depression, smoking, alcohol
consumption, physical activity, consultations with medical professionals, use
of medications, and use of alternative medicine. A section on immigrant health
shows the potential for analyzing sub-populations.
The National Population Health Survey was first conducted in 1994/95.
