New data sets at the RDC:
Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth (CHSCY) linked to DAD and NACRS
The Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth (CHSCY) linked to the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) and the National Ambulatory Care is now available.
The purpose of this data integration project is to enhance the analytical and research value of the CHSCY files by including information from the DAD and the NACRS. Researchers will use the linked dataset to explore issues that have an impact on the health of children and youth and conduct a variety of analyses using acute and ambulatory care data.
More information on the CHSCY data set is available at:
