Canadian Survey of Experiences with Primary Health Care, 2007-2008

More specifically, the goal of this survey was to provide a picture of access and utilization of primary care as well as information on issues specific to Canadians living with chronic conditions and their experiences with the health care system. Ultimately, the data collected will provide information for the development of effective policies and strategies, both provincially and nationally, to help improve health care for all Canadians.

Measures include: health status, primary health care type, health care use, health care utilization, experience with primary health care providers, access to health care, emergency room use, prescription medication use, chronic conditions, patient activation, and demographic characteristics.
