Description  Amongst others, this record linkage project will allow new information to be generated about the factors, influences, and processes that contribute to healthy aging. The CCHS files (annual component and focus content) were linked to a range of health outcomes including hospitalization, mortality, and cancer. These linked files will facilitate the study of the impact of a broad range of social determinants of health (e.g., socioeconomic status, ethnicity, risk factors, and disease states) on health outcomes at the population level.
Format  None
Purpose  The purpose of this record linkage project was to create a linked dataset that will allow researchers to analyze the behavioural, socioeconomic, and environmental factors along with the use of hospital services and health outcomes at the population level using the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) data from the Focus Content Surveys.
Scope  The CCHS focus content surveys are designed to provide cross sectional, provincial level results on specific focused health topics. Five focus content files were included in this linkage project : the CCHS - Mental Health and Well-being (2002) and CCHS - Mental Health (2012)CCHS - Nutrition (2004 and 2015) and CCHS - Healthy Aging (2008/2009).
