New data sets at the RDC:
Canadian Health Survey on Seniors (CHSS)
The Canadian Health Survey on Seniors (CHSS) is a cross-sectional survey that collected information related to health status, health care services, supports, as well as social and health determinants for the Canadian population aged 65 and over. The survey is a supplement to the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). The CHSS includes 15 minutes of content asked at the end of the CCHS to respondents aged 65 and over. The surveys are designed to flow seamlessly from the CCHS into the CHSS.
More information on this data set can be found at: https://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurvey&SDDS=5267
