Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth (CHSCY)
February 2, 2026
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.
