Maintained by Kitty ChenFirst published 2020-02-167 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Supporting the use of the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) by transforming variables from each cycle into harmonized, consistent versions that span survey cycles (currently, 2001 to 2018). CCHS data used in this library is accessed and adapted in accordance to the Statistics Canada Open Licence Agreement. This package uses rec_with_table(), which was developed from 'sjmisc' rec().
