New data sets at the RDC:

Canadian Oral Health Survey (COHS)

This survey gathers information on Canadians’ oral health, including their ability to pay, challenges and experiences with the oral health care services, and care needs. Additionally, the survey collects information on knowledge of publicly funded oral health programs and access to dental care expenses and insurance coverage to better understand the state of oral health.

Statistics Canada and Health Canada have partnered to conduct the Canadian Oral Health Survey (COHS) with the shared goal of understanding the oral health of Canadians. The COHS is gathering information related to oral health, including individuals’ ability to pay for oral health care, experiences with the oral health care system, challenges finding oral health services, and care needs.

Learn more about the COHS on the Statistics Canada website.

If you would like more information on how to submit a proposal for access to this data, see link. For further inquires about the RDC program please contact your local RDC analyst.
