ACS and SNC Documentation

Question

I am trying to locate the documentation for the Aboriginal Children's Survey and the Survey of Northern Children.

I found a page on which it said you could link to the questionnaire for ACS http://www.statcan.gc.ca/cgi-bin/af-fdr.cgi?l=eng&loc=http://www.statcan.gc.ca/imdb-bmdi/instrument/5108_Q2_V1_E-eng.pdf but when I tried that I got to a File Not Found page.

I didn't find the questionnaire or anything else for the SNC.

Answer

Questionnaires for the ACS / SNC 2006 are available at http://www.statcan.gc.ca/cgi-bin/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getInstrumentDocLink&SurvId=29174&SurvVer=1&InstaId=29175&InstaVer=1&lang=en&db=imdb&adm=8&dis=2

I accessed this page from the ACSs description in the Definitions, data sources and methods section of the StatCan website (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/cgi-bin/imdb/p2SV.pl?Function=getSurvey&SDDS=5108&lang=en&db=imdb&adm=8&dis=2). This page also includes the following information about the SNC: "In 2006, the Survey of Northern Children, originally a component of the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (record number 4450), was incorporated into the Aboriginal Children's Survey to provide information on the health and development of children, under the age of 6 years, living in the territories."

If you let me know from which page you linked to the broken link below, I will inform the appropriate unit.

I hope that this helps. Please let me know if you experience any problems accessing these files.
