things to consider when using nhs data
because of the differences in methodology between a mandatory census and a voluntary survey, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , researchers, and policy makers need to be cognizant of the following when using and interpreting nhs data:
- caution should be used when comparing nhs data to the 2006 census or earlier censuses, especially when it comes to data for small geographies. see "comparability of the nhs estimates" in the national household survey user guide for more information. both subsections, "comparability of the nhs estimates and the 2006 census" and "discrepancy between 2011 census counts and 2011 nhs estimates" are important to consider.
- pay attention to the global non-response rate. the higher the rate, the greater the risk of non-response bias.
- note that statistics canada has not released any data for geographic areas with a global non-response rate of 50 percent or higher. see the geographic areas not released page. of particular interest for many 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and researchers at lakehead will be the list of the ontario census subdivisions (csds) for which data was not released.
