Canadian Health Measures Survey : a tool for immigrant health research? / by Edward Ng.: CS82-003/2015-3-1E-PDF
"The Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS) fills important health information gaps, but the feasibility of using it for immigrant research is unknown. Weighted estimates of socio-demographic variables by immigrant status from the combined cycles 1 and 2 of the CHMS (2007 to 2009 and 2009 to 2011) were compared with distributions from the 2006 Census and the 2011 National Household Survey (NHS). Weighted CHMS estimates of selected self-reported health indicators among immigrants were compared with corresponding data from the 2009/2010 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) by age group, sex, broad world region of origin, and period of arrival. Z-scores were used to detect statistical significance between the CHMS and CCHS estimates"--Abstract, page 3.
