Participation and Activity Limitation Survey
Statistics Canada is conducting a survey on Canadians (adults and children), whose day-to-day activities may be limited because of a condition or health problem. Survey results will help to identify difficulties and barriers these Canadians may face.
- This survey (previously called the Health and Activity Limitations Survey) is now inactive but data are still available. Data collection: 1986, 1991, 2001 and 2006. This survey has been replaced by the Canadian Survey on Disability (CSD) which was conducted in 2012.
