Inclusion in the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS)

Question:
I have a researcher who is interested in the scope of 'loss of productivity' measures in CCHS 2015 and 2016 for British Columbia--what the depth of coverage is. I see LoP is listed in the guides but no idea as to the number/robustness of responses.

Answer:
We’ve received the following response from subject matter:

“For the “loss of productivity” module that you are interested in, the universe for these questions are limited to respondents aged 15 to 75. In 2015-2016 LOP was only selected by BC, if you look in the 2015-2016 PUMF data dictionary the frequency in the LOP questions will represent only those within BC.”
