1 2008 Toronto RDC Annual Report Toronto Region Statistics Canada Research Data Centre A Partnership of the University of Toronto, Ryerson University, and York University Submitted to the Executive Director of the Canadian Research Data Centre Network (CRDCN), March 2009

2 Executive Summary The Toronto Research Data Centre and the Canadian Research Data Centre network have made some remarkable achievements over the past year and a half. At the national level, the midterm review of our SSHRC/CIHR grant was very favourable. The international review committee commented that, "The RDC application for renewal was of the strongest possible quality. The committee considered the governance structure of the RDC Network remarkable. As other countries around the world are setting up their own networks of data centres, it is clear that the Canadian model is exemplary. Locally, we are very pleased to report that our partner York University has decided to become a branch within the RDC network. This means researchers at York will now be able to access RDC data on campus within a secure facility. Administrative connections between the York branch and the Toronto RDC will remain strong, however, as we share the same local Statistics Canada support and services. We also completed the planning for the first graduate course in panel data methods offered at the RDC. This course, which is offered in cooperation with the School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Toronto, provides an introduction both to statistical methods that have been developed for analyzing longitudinal data and to the particular data sets housed in the RDC. The course commenced in January 2009 with 19 students drawn from graduate programs across the University of Toronto. The year has seen a sharp increase in the level of research activity at the RDC. There are now in excess of 135 active projects at the Centre (December ). Over the year there were 67 projects initiated representing 121 new researchers. This higher level of activity is a testament to the contribution of the RDC to research in the Toronto area. Such a sharp and quick increase in activity also, naturally, puts strains on the Centre s infrastructure, and on behalf of all our users I extend our thanks to the RDC staff for their efforts over this period. As in previous years various units within the University of Toronto s Faculty of Medicine are the largest users of our data. Finally, this report marks a change in both the frequency and format in which we will be documenting our operations. At the request of the National Coordinating Committee we have changed our reporting period from the fiscal to the calendar year to match the administrative requirements of our grant from SSHRC and CIHR. This is the reason there was no annual report in May We have also reformatted much of the report to match the categories SSHRC/CIHR require for their midterm and end of term reviews. As a result you will find greater detail on various dimensions of the RDC s operations than in previous reports. Toronto Region Statistics Canada Research Data Centre: Activity Report 2008 i

Operation: Number of Workstations & Hours of Operation The centre is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm. The Toronto RDC has 25 lab workstations and 5 internet computers, one full-time and two part-time analysts, a part-time administrative assistant, a full-time research and computing consultant and a part-time manager, in addition to our Academic Director. The Toronto Region Statistics Canada Research Data Centre (RDC) provides faculty and student researchers from the University of Toronto, York University and Ryerson University with direct access to master file data from a range of ongoing national surveys collected by Statistics Canada. The RDC is located on the 7 th floor of Robarts Library on the University of Toronto campus. RDCs are the only research facilities where researchers can link Canadian data on individuals longitudinally to study change over time. The RDC houses the master files from Statistics Canada s longitudinal surveys: the National Population Health Survey (NPHS), The Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID), the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY), the Youth in Transition survey (YITS), the Workplace and Employee Survey (WES), the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS), and Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants (LSIC). Although the primary mission of the RDC is to make longitudinal surveys available to researchers in a secure environment, researchers may also submit proposals to access other crosssectional Statistics Canada data files, e.g., the General Social Survey (GSS), the National Graduate Survey (NGS), and the Labour Force Survey (LFS), to name a few. These data greatly enhance the position of Canadian behavioural and social science in the international discourse on a broad range of social, health, psychological, and economic research issues. In addition, the increased access of academics to these data inevitably means a much broader base of evidence to inform and shape social policy in Canada in the future. This enhanced access to Statistics Canada data is possible at the RDCs because they operate under the same security provisions as any other Statistics Canada office. This includes the use of physical access controls, an internally independent and secure computer network, and the vetting of output to ensure it complies with confidentiality policies. The RDC program works collaboratively with Data Liberation Initiative (DLI) to ensure that Statistics Canada survey data is used to the fullest extent possible.

9 The RDC s core holdings include the National Population Health Survey (NPHS), the Survey of Labour and Income Dynamics (SLID), the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY), the Youth in Transition Survey (YITS), the Workplace and Employee Survey (WES), the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants in Canada (LSIC) and the cross-sectional Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). In addition to the Toronto RDC's core surveys, researchers with approved projects may also access other survey master files, such as the General Social Survey (GSS), as well as the Ethnic Diversity Survey (EDS), the Aboriginal People s Survey (APS), the Residential Care Facilities Survey (RCFS) and the National Graduate Survey (NGS). In addition, new data files were received in 2008 for the Maternal Experience Survey (MES), The National Survey of Work and Health of Nurses (NSWHN), and the Canadian Internet Use Survey (CIUS). The most popular surveys used by researchers in 2008 include the CCHS, the NPHS, the NLSCY, SLID, and LSIC. Criterion 2: Project Output Information The summary of project output was determined by researchers response to the request for output for 2008, and includes only those references published in the 2008 calendar year (January to December, 2008). a.

10 The information in the output summary table comes from the researchers themselves, with the exception of the number of projects and theses completed and the events organized by the RDC staff. These are taken from the RDC database, the RDC analysts, and the RDC staff respectively. The response rate from researchers this year who responded to our request for output was about 57% and included only those researchers with active projects within the last five years. The information in the next table on health related projects was taken from the RDC database and includes all projects to date (n = 355). b. Summary Substantive Comments on Publications The strength of the research conducted in the Toronto RDC is evidenced by its quality and relevance. A large proportion of research is in the area of health, and the preferred method of publication is the refereed journal article. Reports from our researchers (57% response rate) continue to reveal a steady flow of 20 to 30 journal articles per year (29 in 2008, plus an additional 2 from 2007 just received as output in 2008). For the most part these publications are in leading journals. Looking forward to the next generation of researchers, students are the leading users of the Toronto RDC. Much of this use is research assistance, which provides students with training and an introduction to the RDC data. RDC data is also emerging as an important basis of students independent research: 5 M.A. and honours theses and 6 Ph.D. theses have come to completion during In addition, there are three masters level students and 21 doctoral students with their theses in progress at the Toronto RDC. c. Summary report on major media coverage of RDC research The wider relevance of research, such as a study s influence on public policy and practice or its appeal to the public interest, is harder to measure. To a certain extent media coverage captures this dimension. In 2008, media attention from research completed at the Toronto RDC includes continued international coverage for Emma Robertson-Blackmore s project on mental health and stress in the workplace, including the Financial Post article Thursday October 30 th, 2008 Is your office making you sick. In fact, Dr. Robertson-Blackmore reported over 9,000 media events related to this project, and published her research in the British Journal of Psychiatry, as well as the Canadian Journal of Psychiatry. Chris Zatzick and Tony Fang reported local media coverage for their project on workplace practices and employee well-being. It was the basis for an article in the Toronto Star October 24, 2008 The Dream Isn t Working Now, as well as one in the headlines in the Singtao Daily October 19, 2008 Over 60% of Chinese New Immigrants Are Over-educated. d.

Substantive Summary Over 2008 the number of Statistics Canada analysts at the Toronto RDC varied slightly from 2.2 to 2.4 and back to 2.2 to accommodate one of our student analyst s flexible schedule. We had two students over the year at 1.6 (to 1.8 and back again to 1.6), and one non-student at.6. For most of the year the Centre employed a full time statistical and computer consultant, who went to.8 in the last month of the year. We share an office manager with the University of Toronto s Institute for Life Course and Aging and her Toronto RDC FTE was 0.45 for the entire year. Neither the consultant nor the office manager are students. Our part-time casual administrative staff is a student working approximately a.25 FTE (10 hours a week). Criterion 5: Toronto RDC Knowledge Mobilization Events 2008 a. Events in 2008 i) Introductory SAS Workshop Dave Haans RDC Consultant Toronto Region Statistics Canada Research Data Centre This workshop is open to current RDC researchers and is generally presented twice a year, in Spring and Fall. This workshop is meant to help current researchers at the RDC acquaint or re-acquaint themselves with the SAS programming language. In this workshop, the basics of the SAS programming language will be covered, including creating variables, reading in raw text files, modifying SAS data sets, and merging SAS data sets. Most recently, a section on group processing has been expanded and made much more interactive.

13 ii) National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY) Workshop Stephanie Lalonde NLSCY Survey Manager Rochelle Garner Research Analyst Claude Girard Survey Statistician Yves Lafortune Survey Statistician Statistics Canada Tuesday September 30 th, 2008 and Wednesday, October 1 st, :30am to 4:30pm This 2-day workshop will begin with an overview of the NLSCY, including a discussion of the content and changes over the cycles, sampling across the cycles, response rates (both cross-sectional and longitudinal), issues that could affect comparisons across cycles, and the sampling distribution of ages across cycles. NLSCY researchers will benefit from a discussion of the NLSCY s survey weights, including how they are created, how to use them for both longitudinal and cross-sectional research, how they can be used to make inferences about the population of children, how to pool samples and calculate new weights for the pooled sample, information about normalized/standardized weights, and why bootstrap weights should be used to generate final variance estimates. A presentation on variance estimation will explain sampling error and how it indicates if the sample size is large enough to reliably report a survey estimate, what confidence intervals and coefficients of variation are, and how bootstrap weights are used to estimate sampling error. Nonresponse issues will be detailed, including how the NLSCY weights account for unit nonresponse, how to deal with partial nonresponse, and how to evaluate nonresponse bias. A presentation on general research issues, such as sample size, sampling error and other errors in the survey will round out the presentations. A question-and-answer session will be held on Wednesday afternoon, and NLSCY researchers are encouraged to submit questions before the workshop. NLSCY Workshop Presentations Slides (.pdf files): 1.

It contains a vast and rich source of data on these groups. 3:50 4:15: Discussion: Feel free to talk with any of the representatives. The Toronto RDC would like to thank the Fields Institute for providing the venue for this presentation. b. Substantive Comments and Summary of Activities for 2008 The Knowledge Mobilization events during 2008 took the form of training workshops on popular statistical softwares (SAS), and datasets (NLSCY), and public lectures to publicize RDC Data (GSS) and/or provide instruction in statistical methodologies for their analysis (NLSCY). Our software workshops are a direct response to the fact that many students enter our RDC with good research ideas but needing support with their technical skills. The public lectures inform our communities of new opportunities for research at the Toronto RDC. Toronto Region Statistics Canada Research Data Centre: Activity Report

15 c. Summary of Types of Statistical and Methodological Topics Covered in Training Sessions Presentations at the Toronto RDC have been generally informational in nature, describing research results or the contents of Statistics Canada surveys and the Canadian census. Presentations have included the survey content and changes over the cycles of the NLSCY, presented by Stephanie Lalonde, Rochelle Garner, Claude Girard and Yves Lafortune from Statistics Canada. The 2 day workshop covered a wide variety of topics related to the analysis of the NLSCY at the Toronto RDC, including weighting and variance estimation techniques, nonresponse, normalized and standardized weights, and pooling data across different survey cycles, with time allotted to researchers questions on day 2. Other presentations include the survey data sets presented by Statistics Canada on Social and Aboriginal surveys, in order to increase their use. Five surveys, a 20 th anniversary project on the GSS, and opportunities to researchers for publication of RDC research, were all presented. The increase in project and researcher activity has limited the time analysts were able to allot to the organization of events, and subsequently, there were no brown bag seminars this year. In 2008, formal training continued in the Toronto RDC with the teaching of SAS as an introductory topic for RDC researchers. Along with the basics of using this software, some longitudinal programming techniques germane to longitudinal analyses are included. d. Audiences Presentations at the Toronto RDC for 2008 were mainly comprised of RDC researchers and generally reflected the academic backgrounds of researchers here graduate students, research assistants/associates/coordinators from various research organizations, and faculty. For example, the two day NLSCY workshop held September 30 th and October 1 st at the RDC, included faculty and student researchers from our partner universities as well as those from other RDCs (Calgary, McMaster, UNB, and UWO), while the SAS workshop held June 20 th included mostly student researchers from our partner university community. For those presentations or workshops that were open to people outside the RDC community, participants included federal, provincial and municipal governmental policy analysts, consultants, and university administrators. For example, the four hour presentation April 1 st from the Social and Aboriginal Statistics Division, held at the Field s Building on campus at U of T, included many participants from the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, as well as Health Canada, the Ministry of Health Promotion, the City of Toronto, and organizations such as Cancer Care Ontario, and the Ontario Tobacco Research Unit, in addition to researchers (faculty and students) from our partner universities (Ryerson, York, Toronto) and other universities (Kent, Guelph). e. Toronto RDC Newsletter The Toronto RDC newsletter is typically distributed twice a year to a diverse list of academics who are encouraged to forward it to interested parties. In 2008, the Toronto RDC s newsletter was published in Spring 2008, and an sent out that contains a brief description of the Toronto RDC and a link to the full newsletter online. This is done for two reasons: the UofT restricts mass mail outs through its system and two, adding a link to our webpage results in many more visits to our website than would normally be the case. In addition to information on the RDC program, the Toronto RDC newsletter describes the data available for analysis, and the proposal submission process, advertisement of our public lectures, conference announcements, calls for papers, and funding opportunities for research using Statistics Canada micro-data.

16 f. Website The Toronto RDC s website URL is: The Toronto RDC s website's purpose is to give researchers and prospective researchers a clear overview of the Toronto RDC and what its purpose is, and provide helpful guidance and links to those who visit. As well, the Hours web page at is updated regularly with vacationrelated closings and changes to operating hours. The link to this page is given out when s are sent to all researchers notifying them of changes to our normal operating hours or dates. Visits to the Toronto RDC s website have been tracked since May, 2006 using Google Analytics. In the calendar year 2008, the website received 4,193 visits, or approximately per weekday. toronto rdc was the search term used most often to locate the Toronto RDC s website, indicating that many visitors to the website are looking for the Toronto RDC s website and not finding it by accident. The bulk of visits (n=3402, 81%) come from Canada, with most of the international visits from the US (n=348, 8%), and the remaining 11% of visits from a variety of countries (Ireland, UK, India, Germany, Australia, Hong Kong, France and the Netherlands). The Papers page of the website features an alphabetical and chronological list of a sample of published articles resulting from research at the Toronto RDC, including links to articles appearing in Statistics Canada publications such as Health Reports, Perspectives on Labour and Income, and Juristat, which are available for free on the Statistics Canada website. The website also contains a brief introduction to the Toronto RDC, links to the Toronto RDC s partners, links to information about the data, links to the SSHRC application site, contact and location information, and a page highlighting the Toronto RDC s computing and network resources. It also offers researchers from York and Ryerson Universities the same broad information offered to University of Toronto researchers, including links to the partner university s data libraries and statistical consulting services. g. Summary of Knowledge mobilization, dissemination and communication. The Toronto RDC regularly issues newsletters, organizes in-house and external presentations on behalf of Statistics Canada staff, RDC researchers and RDC staff. We also update our website regularly, and also distribute conference information, job postings and other information that is of interest to researchers and others interested in the Toronto RDC. Criterion 6: Scientific Innovation Due to the large number of projects handled by each of our analysts, there was little time in 2008 for scientific innovation or methodological advances. However, our analysts held focal point responsibilities for the Homicide Survey pilot project (Tina Hotton), the National Graduates Survey (Angela Prencipe), and the National Survey of Giving, Volunteering, and Participating (Byron Lee). In addition, Tina worked with the staff and methodologists of the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS) in the development and testing of new administrative data disclosure rules for the Homicide Survey pilot project.

17 Criterion 7: Toronto RDC Networks of Collaboration, Partnerships in Research and Interdisciplinary Work a. Disciplines of Researchers involved in Toronto RDC projects Toronto RDC researchers come from a wide variety of disciplines. The leading sources (proportion of researchers) in 2008 are: o Sociology, 13.9% o Public Health, 12.9% o Economics, 11.8% o Health Science, 8.5% o Psychology, 8.5% o Health Policy, 6.9% o Psychiatry, 6.0% o Nutrition, 4.6% o Geography, 2.3% o Business, 2.0% b. Toronto RDC Researchers involved with Partnership Networks Toronto RDC researchers are members of a wide array of national and international partnerships, institutes and networks and hospitals, examples from 2008 include: Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health, Centre of Excellence for Research on Immigration and Settlement (CERIS), Institute for Work and Health, Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences, Social and Economic Dimensions of an Aging Population (SEDAP), Canadian Labour Market and Skills Researcher Network (CLSRN), Canadian Obesity Network, Community Social Planning Council for Toronto, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Hospital for Sick Children, St. Michael s Hospital, University Health Network. c. Collaboration with NGO's in RDC projects To the best of our knowledge, none of the researchers at the Toronto RDC are affiliated with NGOs in d. Partnership and leverage of funds The Toronto RDC is becoming better known to researchers in the region who are not members of the RDC network. These researchers, if they are not conducting CIHR or SSHRC funded research, pay a fee for RDC access. In calendar year 2008 researchers from a company called Ecometrix and from the Universities of Utrecht and Trent, paid for access. (Two of these three fee for service contracts also occurred within fiscal year ) e. Interaction with government researchers, federal and provincial contracts with university researchers The Toronto RDC opened its doors to a number of federally funded contracts with researchers, and in calendar year 2008 received paid access fees from six HRSDC contracts. (An additional three HRSDC and 3.5 CLSRN contracts, plus an additional fee for service contract have paid or owe access fees since January 2009, increasing our original estimate of 10 fee contracts to 15.5 for the fiscal year ) Criterion 8: Toronto RDC Summary of Major Objectives, Challenges and Achievements This year saw a large increase in RDC projects and researchers. York University was approved as a branch of the Toronto RDC and hiring and training of statistical consultants was conducted in the late fall for the Toronto Region Statistics Canada Research Data Centre: Activity Report

18 opening March 2 nd, In addition, preparations were made for the first offering of the graduate level course in panel data methods offered in January Renovations consisted of additional locker space needed for researchers, and a unit containing 30 half sized lockers was proposed and ordered in mid- November. The Toronto RDC continued to make a number of significant contributions to the promotion and wellbeing of the RDC network in 2008: 1. Our Research and Computing Consultant, Dave Haans, consulted with the Canadian RDC Network (CRDCN) on their metadata project, the secure Wide Area Network (WAN) which presently connects Ottawa with the Toronto RDC, the Atlantic RDC and the Manitoba RDC (and will connect all RDCs by the end of 2009), and initiated discussion among CRDCN and Statistics Canada personnel on applications for the WAN. 2. Byron Lee, Toronto RDC Analyst, and Dave Haans aided in the setup of the York RDC, advising planners and York IT on Statistics Canada regulations, equipment requirements, security practices, IT policies, software purchases, possible problem areas, office layout, and best work practices. In addition, both Byron and Dave trained York RDC staff prior to the York RDC opening (on March 2, 2009). 3. Our manager, Susan Murphy, shared the 2008 revised output template with all the RDCs in the network to aid in the consistent collection and counting of research output. 4. Our Academic Director, Michael Baker, continues to serve on the executive committee of the National Coordinating Committee, which is revising the algorithm for the distribution of the SSHRC/CIHR funds across the network. The Toronto RDC is dedicated to its strong core of established researchers who want access to RDC data. For these users our goal is to make data access as straightforward as possible. We also provide support through the maintenance and update of our facilities, and by publicizing the latest developments in our data and related statistical methodologies. We also have a large pool of new or potential users, many of whom are students. For these users our services include publicizing research opportunities using RDC data, instruction in the use of RDC data sets and statistical software, and forums for the critical discussion of research results. Criterion 9: Toronto RDC Annual Projections 2009 In the coming year we look forward to the successful launch of the York University branch, and to the successful conclusion of the first offering of the new graduate level course Panel Data Methods for Public Policy Analysis. The York branch represents important progress facilitating access to RDC data in the Toronto area. Our graduate course is a natural extension of the assistance our RDC staff provide student researchers at the RDC on a daily basis. We will also contribute to the application by the national network for a new operating grant from SSHRC and CIHR. The Toronto RDC has been an active participant in previous applications and we look forward to documenting and explaining the many achievements of Canada s RDCs in this current initiative. As our research activity grows, so does our staff. In the coming year we will be renovating to accommodate the additional people working at the RDC. Toronto Region Statistics Canada Research Data Centre: Activity Report

19 Finally, the University of Toronto recently announced a major reorganization and revitalization of its School of Public Health. Because the RDCs provide access to the leading population surveys of public health, this provides a unique opportunity to enhance services to public health users in the Toronto region. One opportunity may lie in a pilot project at the McMaster University RDC that provides access to data from Ontario s Institute for Clinical and Evaluative Sciences. We are initiating a planning process within the Toronto RDC to respond to the opportunities provided by the expansion of public health scholarship at the University of Toronto.

However, the project title (and obviously the focus of the project) changed slightly when it became apparent that the teacher data from cycle one of the NLSCY was insufficient to explore the initial research question. Course Materials: I talk about this study and its policy implications in my 3 rd year undergraduate young offenders course and in my 4 th year Advanced Topics in Criminology course. Media Coverage: In SSHRC s annual review of the research it sponsors, my research on this general topic was highlighted. They have fielded many media calls and sent some on to me, though I do not typically keep track of all the newspaper interviews I do. About a month ago SSHRC gave me a summary of everywhere my research had appeared in the media, but I unfortunately did not keep that . You may be able to contact SSHRC and ask them for their media list on my work. Use by a government policy department: SSHRC has highlighted the research, which has made many organizations interested in the policy implications. To date I have not given anyone a copy of my paper that is under review in a journal though I hope soon to be able to give copies out to anyone who asks for it.

(2007) Electoral Participation of Ethnocultural Communities. Ottawa: Elections Canada. Use by government: Professional Services Contract Elections Canada commissioned me to write a Concept Paper on Ethnocultural Communities, Minorities and Immigrants (January-May 2006). The paper reviews the literature on the voting patterns of minorities and immigrants in Canada and abroad, analyzes new data on their turnout patterns, and reviews the outreach initiatives of Canada, 13 subnational juristidictions and 11 states. Part of the paper is based on output from the EDS. This analysis is congruent with the original proposal to analyze the EDS, as set out in the SSHRC application. The objective of the Concept Paper is to provide a research base for the agency s strategic outreach initiatives in these communities. Some of the policy recommendations in the paper are based on the analysis of the EDS (all disclaimers releasing Statistics Canada from responsibility for the policy advice were included in the paper). At the moment, the paper is confidential and for internal use only.
