Data Tables:
- CANSIM
A database that allows access to a large range of Canada's latest statistics.
Steps for browsing CANSIM Tables (Click on images to enlarge):
1) Browse CANSIM by subject, I am choosing "Health".
2) Once I am in the "Health" list, I am going to choose "Mental Health and Well-Being"
3) We are presented with a list of tables about Mental Health in Canada, depending on your interests, some may be more enticing then others. I am going to look into the 3rd one down, "Risk of Depression, by age group and sex..." I click the number code in the "table" column.
4) This gives me more information on the statistics I will find in my selected table. Here you have the option to change what is shown in the table, by manipulating the data or by adding/removing data. You can then 'download' this table.
