Canadian Health Measures Survey Cycle 2 Documentation

Question
A researcher here is looking for the data dictionaries for the CHMS cycle 2. CHMS isn’t on the Nesstar Master File list thus far, but is there another way to access this information?

Answer


Cycle 2 of the CHMS actually has multiple dictionaries, and not just one. Right now, we cannot make them available outside the RDC. I’m going to ask subject-matter to remove the reference to them from the list of available documentation until the issue of whether or not we can distribute them is resolved.
