Exploring the use of experimental small area estimates to examine the relationship between individual-level and area-level community belonging and self-rated health
This study assessed novel area-level community belonging measures derived using small area estimation and examined associations with individual-level measures of community belonging and self-rated health.DATA AND METHODS: SAEs of community belonging within census tracts produced from the 2016-2019 cycles of the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) were merged with respondent data from the 2020 CCHS. Multinomial logistic regression models were run between area-level SAEs, individual-level sense of community belonging, and self-rated health on the study sample of people aged 18 years and older.RESULTS: Area-level communit...

Access to specialized health care services among older Canadians
Health Rep. 2024 Mar 20;35(3):18-32. doi: 10.25318/82-003-x202400300002-eng.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Canada is experiencing rapid population aging, which has a wide range of implications, including an increased need for health care services. However, very few studies have examined use of specialized health care services (e.g., visits to medical specialists, non-emergency tests, and surgeries) among older Canadians.DATA AND METHODS: Data from the Canadian Health Survey on Seniors - 2019/2020 were used to examine specialized health care service use among older Canadians.
