Supplementary Information

Three methods (sampling frames) are used to generate survey participants: an area frame, a list frame, and random digit dialing. The area frame consists of a selection of dwellings drawn from Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey sampling frame. The list frame consists of a list of telephone numbers from the Canada Phone Directory. Lastly, in four health regions, the sample is supplemented with random digit dialing. Moreover, for the 12 to 17-year-old participants, the frame is constructed from the Canadian Child Benefit (CCB). For the participants 18 years old and older, it is constructed from the Dwelling Universe File (DUF).
