Tracking Cited Survey Data

Question

A student here is working on a literature review and wants to compile a complete-as-possible list of published academic studies using data from Canada's Alcohol and Other Drugs Survey (1994). Is there any tracking done of research projects that use STC survey data? Perhaps through the RDCs? And if so, is this information accessible/public?

Answer

Upon initial discussions with Sage, she confirmed that Statistics Canada does not keep track of all literature produced outside of HQ using our data sets.

Sage did however wish to relate to you an excellent article written by Elizabeth Hamilton and Chuck Humphrey titled "DLI and NPHS: a Study in Compatibility". You can retrieve this article from the DLI web site by following these simple steps:

1) Visit our website (http://www.statcan.ca/english/Dli/dli.htm)
2) Select "Reports and Reference Materials"
3) Click on "DLI Update"
4) Download Volume 5, issue 2 (Fall 2002).
** The Background section of the paper tells you how they found evidence of secondary data analysis
