CCHS 2008 Annual File

Question
I have a user who is wondering about the “CCHS 2008 Annual Component”: <http://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurvey&SurvId=3226&SurvVer=1& InstaId=15282&InstaVer=5&SDDS=3226&lang=en&db=IMDB&adm=8&dis=2>

Would I be correct in saying that the “CCHS 2007-2008 Annual Component” contains that survey? Or perhaps the “CCHS 2008-2009 Healthy Aging” file contains the “CCHS 2008 Annual Component”? He is intent on acquiring every piece of the CCHS if possible.

Answer

The Author Division responded with the list of CCHS annual PUMFs that are available:

- CCHS 1.1
- CCHS 2.1
- CCHS 3.1
- CCHS 2007-08
- CCHS 2009-10 and 2010 and the next release is in the Fall 2013.

There is no separate 2008 PUMF for the annual CCHS. There is also CCHS Healthy Aging (2008-09).
