Because of confidentiality requirements
and agreements signed with Statistics Canada, it
is not possible to allow full access to these data
to interested researchers. Anyone interested in
analyzing OCHS data is invited to complete a data
access application (see below). On approval of
this application, the user will receive a sample
file in SPSS format, which contains no identifying
or geographic information. This can be used to
develop and debug computer code, which will then
be run centrally on the entire file by the OCHS
database co-ordinator.
