Robust Indicators of Residential Mobility Derived From Longitudinal Canadian Data to Examine Population Health Across the Life Course

Abstract

Where we live, how often we move, and where we move to have direct impacts on health and well-being. However, there is still a need for comprehensive data and robust approaches to assess long-term residential mobility and population-wide health. Our study demonstrates that longitudinal linked tax and survey data can be used to produce reliable population-wide measures of residential mobility. (To read more, please visit the links above.)
