Project on matching Census 1986 database and Manitoba health care files : private households component / by Christian Houle et al. : CS11-0019/91E
The primary objective of this pilot project was to evaluate the feasibility of combining the following three data sources: the 1986 Census of Population, the 1986-1987 Health and Activity Limitation Survey (HALS), and the Manitoba Health (MH) longitudinal file on health care service utilization. The database resulting from this combination is intended to enable researchers to explore new directions with respect to health determinants. In this article, we describe the matching of files, the selection of the sample for analysis purposes and the results, which show the representativeness of the database created and also validate the techniques employed.--Introduction
