CCHS LHIN Weights

Question

A researcher came across this statement, “Special LHIN weights are available upon request,” on the following web page: <http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/health-sante/82-228/help-aide/DQ-QD03.cfm?Lang=E>.

How can he get access to the LHIN weights mentioned there?

Answer

The author division has explained that there is no LHIN weight file created for use with the PUMF file, which is the file available through the DLI. These weights are created for use with the master file available through the RDC.
