Institut de la statistique QuebecThe Institut de la statistique du Québec produces many statistics on themes related to health and well-being every year. These statistics mainly come from surveys conducted by the Institut in collaboration with its partners, or from surveys carried out by Statistics Canada whose data are analysed by the Institut. The preferred topics usually fall under the areas of public health and the organisation of health and social services. Special focus is given to the health and development of children and adolescents. These statistics help improve our knowledge of the health status of the Québec population and of its determinants.
