Canadian Oral Health Survey

Overview

Summary

New Canadian Oral Health Survey (COHS) and Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) data linked to APIM, CCR, Census 2021, IMDB, DAD and NACRS is now available in Research Data Centres across Canada. This record linkage project used the information from the Canadian Oral Health Survey (COHS) and the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) Enrollment data to create linked analytical files. The COHS file and the CDCP file were both separately linked to the Derived Record Depository (DRD) in the Social Data Linkage Environment (SDLE) then to the Discharge Abstract database (DAD), the National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS), the Administrative Personal Income Masterfile (APIM), the 2021 Census of population (Short- and Long-Form), the Longitudinal Immigration Database (IMDB), and the Canadian Cancer Registry (CCR). Lastly, the COHS and the CDCP Enrollment files were linked together.
