Consultative Engagement Objectives
The Centre for Direct Health Measures (CDHM) is responsible for the production of statistics on health indicators that require direct measurements of physical health at the population level across several areas, such as chronic conditions, oral health, infectious disease, and environmental contaminants. As the CDHM envisions the future of their programs, they will, for instance, review and update survey designs, collection infrastructures, survey content, and analytical plans.
Statistics Canada (StatCan) is committed to the provision of quality data. As part of the Direct Health Measures Programs, the CDHM seeks feedback from key stakeholders, such as government health entities, pan-Canadian organizations, provincial and territorial Statistical Focal Points, academic researchers, and non-government organizations.
These perspectives will help StatCan’s CDHM to plan the development of existing programs such as the Canadian Health Measures Survey (CHMS), as well as to design and implement new programs to meet stakeholder needs. The goal is to identify data needs and gaps, raise awareness of StatCan data holdings, learn from stakeholder subject matter expertise and explore potential collaboration.
