Looking for statistics on health topics can be a difficult task–especially if you need Canadian data. The Kellogg Health Sciences Library has created a guide on this topic that can get you started and, we hope, headed in the right direction.
The guide features links to resources from a number of NGOs and government agencies at various levels as well as access to a variety of statistics databases.
Looking for data from Nova Scotia? Try the “Community Counts” link where you’ll find data on a number of topics – including health – that can be broken down to such levels as district health authority or health board. If you’re after national data or comparisons among provinces, you might want to try the links to the Canadian census. If you’re looking for a broad overview of a topic, try one of the links to documents such as “Wait times in Canada” or “Economic Burden of Illness: Canada”. Need to find a map of Nova Scotia’s District Health Authorities? We can help with that too, under the “Maps” tab.
Don’t know where to start? We also provide contact information for several librarians who will be happy to assist you in your search. View the Health Statistics Libguide now!
