Directory: Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 2.1 License: Access restricted to University of Saskatchewan faculty, staff and students for non-commercial study and research by DLI license agreement. http://library.usask.ca/data/dli/dlilicense.html ********************* Revisions and Corrections ------------------------- August 17, 2005 Three of the variables in the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 2.1 (2003) Public Use Microdata File (82M0013XCB) had been incorrectly coded in the initial release. The problem stemmed from an error that occurred during the processing of the variables, leading to incorrect values being assigned. Results based on these variables were likely to be misleading. The three, closely related variables, are: HWTCGWTK - Weight - kilograms - (D, G) HWTCGBMI - Body Mass Index - (D, G) HWTCGISW - Standard weight - International standard - (D, G) The corrected PUMF (82M0013XCB) product has been re-issued. Note that the frequencies that appear in the data dictionary accompanying the product are erroneous as well for these variables, as are the ones that appear in the paper version of the documentation (82M0013GPE), which will also be re-issued.
