Automated follow-up facilities in Canada for monitoring delayed health effects
Increased public awareness of the possible presence of carcinogens and other potentially harmful agents in the workplace and in other areas of the environment has created a demand for studies to determine the extent of the risks associated with exposure to such agents. These studies require large numbers of individuals in various "control" populations to be followed-up over long periods of time. Such large-scale follow-up can be greatly facilitat…
Changing patterns of family growth
Marriage and birth registrations for the Canadian province of British Colombia have been 'linked' by computer into family groupings to provide reproductive histories of married couples. The usefulness of the approach is illustrated by a comparison of the early productivities of marriages contracted in 1961 and in 1951, taking into account the age of the bride, the duration of the marriage, and the religions of the groom, bride and officiating cle…
Pooled records from multiple sources for monitoring congenital anomalies
Couplage de données pour les études démographiques
Des données pour un même individu se trouvent souvent sur des documents différents; leur utilisation concomitante pose des problèmes techniques parfois difficiles ou entraine de grandes pertes de temps. On peut citer, par exemple, le cas de la mortalité infantile selon la catégorie socio-professionnelle du père étudié en France dès 1951, par couplage de données appartenant à deux statistiques. M. H. B. Newcombe, biologue et généticien canadien, a…
Familial tendencies in diseases of children
The clustering of cases of disease within family groups has long been of interest to geneticists, but the empirical data which they have gathered con cerning the strengths of these associations have had to do largely with conditions that were thought in advance to be either hereditary or at least partially so. Epidemiologists, who might be expected to be interested in the strengths of familial predispositions other than those due to heredity, hav…
