Smoking habits of young Canadians
Question
I have a very strong feeling that the answer to this question lies in a custom tabulation, but I figured I’d throw it out in case anyone knows of a resource I missed…
I have a researcher who is looking into the habits of young legal Canadian smokers. Of course, this means they want different age ranges depending on the province of origin (18-20 or 19-20 depending). They were using CCHS 2014, but are open to using another source if they can get the data they need – the closest I could get was using the Youth Smoking Survey, which lets us group the ages how we’d like, but since it’s looking at students and not the whole population in the age range it’s still not quite right. Is there a survey I missed that might let them get the data for the age ranges I mentioned?
Response
The PUMF for the Canadian Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs Survey (CTAD) might work. The 2015 person file has an "age of respondent" variable (dvage) with detailed ages from 15 to 85. There's a variable for provinces (prov). And the survey certainly includes a lot of variables about smoking! It's more of a question of seeing if the ages can be grouped together with large enough amounts of respondents for your researcher's analysis to make sense.
Bonus content: It just so happens that I use "smoking" as an example search in an Odesi exercise I sometimes give to students (attached). We don't subscribe to Odesi, but it has great metadata and I often use it to identify potential PUMFs of interest on different topics, using pretty much the same procedure as described in the exercise. Searching Nesstar is another great way to go about it. Please note that this last link might not work from off-campus.

Use of Youth Smoking Survey
Question
One of our faculty members has called to see if he can give a school which was part of the Youth Smoking Survey access to the PUMF under our DLI licence. I am pretty sure the answer is no, but wanted to be sure. Should I just direct him to the Special Surveys Division or can you provide a contact?
Answer
You are absolutely correct! The students do not have access to the data through the DLI licence.
In order to qualify as users under the DLI licence, they must be registered students in good standing in a DLI institution. As the students do not meet this first criteria, they can not use the data under the licence.
Your professor should follow-up with Special Surveys Division at ssd@statcan.ca and ask them for written permission to use the data.
