Note: The CCHS uses two sampling frames for its sample selection: an area frame for the Canadian population aged 18 and over, and a frame of telephone numbers from Canada Child Benefit (CCB) records for the 12–17 population. Sample weights take this stratified, multistage sampling design into account and were applied to ensure an accurate representation of the Canadian population (Statistics Canada, n.d.).
