CRDCN Overview
Data Holdings
There are currently over 600 cycles of data from population and household surveys and censuses that are available, as well as an increasing number of administrative datasets. The number of datasets available for research is constantly growing.
While the RDCs offer data in many areas of the social sciences, close to a half of all projects undertaken using the RDCs have a health focus and rely on health-related data from Statistics Canada, including the following surveys and collections:
- Impacts of COVID-19 on Canadians: Data Collection Series
- Survey on COVID-19 and Mental Health
- Survey on Access to Health Care and Pharmaceuticals during the Pandemic
- Canadian Health Measures Survey
- Canadian Community Health Survey
- Canadian Health Survey on Seniors
- Canadian Population Health Survey
- Mental Health Survey
- Nutrition Survey
- Healthy Aging Survey
- Canadian Cancer Registry
- Vital Statistics
- Canadian Tobacco and Nicotine Survey
- National Cannabis Survey
- Medical Assistance in Dying
- Canadian Survey on Disability
- Survey on Living with Chronic Disease in Canada

Training the next generation of researchers
In addition to providing access to detailed micro-data, a goal of the Network is to expand the pool of skilled quantitative researchers across Canada. About a third of the users are Masters or PhD students.
Every year, the CRDCN hosts a conference where researchers can present their research results, and students are encouraged to present and are welcome to attend. RDCs also offer a wide range of training opportunities and workshops, as well as summer schools, to students and researchers interested in developing statistical skills and methods. The list of activities is available on the CRDCN website
