Canadian Heart Health Survey, 1986-1992

Question

A PhD student is asking for data from the Canadian Heart Health Survey, 1986-1992. My preliminary research indicates that this survey may not be part of the DLI Collection? Is it correct to conclude that libraries need to order the Heart Heath in Canada CD-ROM from the Canadian Heart Heath Database Centre in order to access this survey data ? It appears the CD is available for a $50.00 handling fee. My conclusions are based on the following information.

There is information about the licensing and availability of a CDROM product containing The Complete Canadian Heart Health Database from the Canadian Heart Health Database Centre. The web pages reference the provincial health surveys that were carried out between 1986 and 1992, so I expect the survey data is on this CDROM.

The University of Toronto Data Library Service also has a web page for the Canadian heart health survey, 1986-1992 at

but it appears this data is restricted to U of T?

Answers

1. The information I have on the data from this series of surveys is that it must be obtained from the Canadian Heart Health Database Centre. This is housed at Memorial University. These data are not part of the DLI Collection.

2. The DLI collection consists primarily of Statistics Canada holdings. We do have a few external sources (such as the Catch and Release data, and the Canadian Addiction Survey), but usually the authoring department contacts us to place the holdings in our collection (granted, sometimes it is a DLI contact who graciously informs them of our program and suggests that it would be a good place to keep their information).

Therefore, you must contact the Canadian Heart and Health Database Centre to procure the dataset.
