2016 Quebec Deprivation Index

2016 Quebec Deprivation Index The deprivation index was designed in the late 1990s to measure the deprivation of Quebecers on a small geographic scale. It is used for research and monitoring social inequalities in health, policy and program development, resource allocation, and service evaluation. It is composed of a material dimension and a social dimension that can be analyzed separately or in combination. The index brings together six indicators, all from the 2016 census and calculated on the basis of dissemination areas (DAs). The file includes the national (province of Quebec), regional (health regions (SSR)) and local (territorial service networks (RTS), local service networks (LSRs) and local community service centres (CLSCs)) versions of the deprivation index. In cases where a dissemination area (DA) straddles two territories (in the RTS, RLS and CLSC versions of the file), it is the DA with the largest proportion of the population that determines which RTS, RLS or CLSC is selected in order to have a single value of the deprivation index per DA for mapping. All results by DA are available in the equivalence table on the [Web of the Institut national de santé publique du Québec (INSPQ)] (https://www.inspq.qc.ca/santescope/indice-de-defavorisation).
