Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect

Question

I have a researcher who is looking for the data file from the Canadian Incidence Study of Reported Child Abuse and Neglect. Has anyone worked with this file before or know where we can get the dataset??


Answer

This study doesn't appear in our listing of surveys and statistical programs (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/imdb-bmdi/indexA-eng.htm) which leads me to believe that it is run out of another organisation.

Part of Statistics Canada's "Family Violence in Canada: A Statistical Profile, 2001". however discusses this study and may be of interest to the researcher (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/85-224-x/85-224-x2001000-eng.pdf).

I found a contact for the study on the Public Health Agency of Canada website (http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/cm-vee/cishl01/index-eng.php, scroll to the very bottom of the page). This contact information was posted online a few years ago but it may still be accurate.
