Microdata on debit card use

Question

We have a user looking for data on debit card (Interac) use in Canada. So far, I have searched the variable-level databases at UWO, Sherlock, and Queens, as well as the TST, with no luck. I have also searched the Roper database, but the content abstracts are so brief that I suspect they would miss something like this.

Does anyone have any other suggestions, things I have missed?

Answer

I have found the very brief mention of 'automated banking machines' in GSS 9.

Also, General Social Survey 14: Access to and Use of Information Communication Technology - 2000
A13 - In past 12 months how often use ATM
Value Label
1 At least a week
2 At least a month
3 Less than a month
4 Never
9 Not stated

No controlled vocabulary, so you've really got to try every variation/permutation!
