Publications

The Health Care in Canada Survey is a valuable source of data on the evolving views of the Canadian public and health care providers. Numerous research articles, policy documents, and other official publications have made use of its information.

We present here a selection of publications that have made use of Health Care in Canada Survey data. These articles give useful context and ramification for the facts presented by the survey, and they also provide useful in-depth insight and opinion on matters of particular concern in Canadian health care policy.

Most of these articles are available on the web, and are hyperlinked; however, some require a subscription or academic library access, without which the links may not give access.
