Write a mini-paper (no more than 5 pages, not including data charts or bibliography) about provincial differences in health behaviors of men and women.

Write a mini-paper (no more than 5 pages, not including data charts or bibliography) about provincial differences in health behaviors of men and women.

Your mini-paper must include a chart(s) using data from the annual component of the Canadian Community Health Survey, available through CANSIM.

If your last name begins with the following letters, make a chart that compares health behaviors of men and women living in the provinces of:

A-B: Quebec, Alberta, and Newfoundland

C-F: Ontario, British Columbia, and Nova Scotia

G-L: New Brunswick, Manitoba and Quebec

M-T: Ontario, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland

U-Z: Ontario and Quebec and Nova Scotia

If your B00 number ends with the following number, focus your analysis on the following year and health behaviour:

0 or 1: Has a regular healthcare provider (2019 CCHS)

2 or 3 : Had contact with a medical doctor in the past 12 months (2016 CCHS)

4 or 5: Had an influenza vaccination in the past 12 months (2019 CCHS)

6 or 7: Smokes daily or occasionally (2019 CCHS) 8 or 9: Heavy drinker (2019 CCHS)

Your mini-paper needs to include:

1. a very brief introductory statement of purpose;

2. a discussion of the provincial differences you observe in your assigned health behaviour;

3. a discussion of potential factors underlying the observed differences in health behaviours that makes references to course materials (e.g., lectures/readings on pathways from relative poverty to health; lectures on the Grossman model of health behaviour, course lectures/papers on policy and health behaviour);

4. at least two additional data charts, made using CANSIM data, to examine the potential validity of the potential factors you have discussed in section 3 above;

5. a conclusion that discusses whether your findings are consistent with what we have been studying about health behaviours.

Hints:

Refer again to the instructions provided with mini-paper one about how to make a chart. Remember to include a detailed title, detailed source, units of analysis.

Any data you use in your mini-paper must be referenced in your bibliography
