Reference guide to understanding and using the data : 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey - Nutrition.: H164-208/2017E-PDF

“The 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey—Nutrition (2015 CCHS-Nutrition) is a nationally-representative survey of the nutrition of people in Canada. This Reference Guide is a revised and updated version of a document published by Health Canada following the 2004 CCHS-Nutrition (Health Canada, 2006). Like its predecessor, the purpose of this Guide is to ensure that the data from the 2015 CCHS-Nutrition are used appropriately, by increasing users’ understanding of the nature of the data and the main considerations relevant to their interpretation and use. It aims to help users understand the context in which the data were obtained, what the results do and do not mean, limitations of the data, and considerations regarding comparing findings between the 2004 and 2015 surveys. The guide is directed to anyone wanting to understand and use the 2015 CCHS-Nutrition data, including those who want to use the data summaries (e.g. tables) released by organizations such as Statistics Canada and/or Health Canada, as well as those interested in conducting primary analyses using the data. Target audiences thus include researchers and graduate students, policy makers, public health professionals, epidemiologists, educators, students, dietitians, food industry, and the health media. Because of the diverse target audiences, background information that may be familiar to some readers is included”--Introd., p. 1.
