Summary:

The Canadian Addiction Survey (CAS) is a collaborative initiative
sponsored by Health Canada, the Canadian Executive Council on Addictions
(CECA)-which includes the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse (CCSA), the
Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission (AADAC), the Addictions
Foundation of Manitoba (AFM), the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
(CAMH), the Prince Edward Island Provincial Health Services Authority,
and the Kaiser Foundation-the Centre for Addictions Research of BC
(CAR-BC), and the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and British
Columbia. 

In the spirit of partnership on which the CAS was founded, the Microdata
file is now available for public use for non-commercial, scientifically
rigorous research and teaching purposes. Academic researchers may access
the data file through the Data Liberation Initiative. All normal DLI
licence restrictions apply to those choosing this route. Non-academic
researchers may be granted access through a CCSA/Carleton University
partnership. 

All other researchers, research organizations and academics who wish to
analyze the data outside the confines of the DLI licence, may apply for
access to the CAS data through the CCSA/Carleton University partnership.
CCSA and Carleton University have signed a five-year Memorandum of
Agreement that is intended to provide a bridge between academic
excellence and the addictions field. Working together to make the CAS
data publicly accessible is a highlight of the partnership.
