PUMF for Survey on Disability 2017

Question:
A researcher has asked when (or if) there will be a public use microdata file for this product (http://www23.statcan.gc.ca/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurvey&SDDS=3251).


Answer:
CSD will not be getting any PUMFs in the future – The reason is due to the fact that the majority of the variables would need to be suppressed and/or aggregated for confidentiality reasons and would not be of analytical value. The geography would likely have to be at the highest level (Canada).
