Risk Factors and Inequities in Transportation Injury and Mortality in the Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohorts (CanCHECs)

We observed significant inequities in transportation injury risk requiring hospitalization, with higher incidence rates among low-income and Indigenous populations for injuries involving motor vehicle occupants, pedestrians, and cyclists

Estimating walking and bicycling in Canada and their road collision fatality risks: The need for a national household travel survey

Canadian Community Health Survey captures more bicycling/walking than the census. Across data sources, walking more common among women than men. Men had higher risk of a fatality than women for bicycling and walking. Both data sources have key limitations for measuring bicycling and walking. Implementing a national household travel survey should be a priority in Canada.
