Overview

Summary

The purpose of the Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD) is to provide information about Canadian adults whose daily activities are limited because of a long-term condition or health-related problem. This information will be used to plan and evaluate services, programs and policies for adults with disabilities to help enable their full participation in Canadian society. Previous surveys dedicated to providing information on persons with disabilities are the Health and Activity Limitations Survey and the Participation and Activity Limitations Survey.
