About
Using data from a new Statistics Canada platform, this study estimated the number of children in Canada who experience parental incarceration and examined available health status indicators. This project was co-developed with community stakeholders, who worked with the research team to conduct the study and to share and apply the findings. The research team also worked with community stakeholders to develop future research and policy work.

About
The Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth explores issues that have an impact on the physical and mental health of children and youth, such as physical activity, the use of electronic devices, time spent in school and extracurricular activities, childhood experiences, suicidal thoughts, substance use and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The information collected from survey respondents will be used to provide policy makers with a better understanding of children’s health care needs across Canada. It will also help policy makers and researchers monitor children’s health over time.
