Resource Library

Our resource library contains more than 350 resources. The library is evolving, as we continue to add resources that are relevant, geared to practice, and either recently published or foundational to current health equity thinking in public health. To suggest a new resource or to learn more about our resource selection process, please contact us.

The right-hand side bar offers two options to search this library:

  1. You can use the search box by entering the title of a document, part of a title, an author or a key word. This search function is sensitive to spelling.
  2. You can choose options from some or all of the categories, including searching only NCCDH produced resources.

We also have curated reading lists available.

The employment quality of persons with disabilities: Findings from a national survey

This study finds that workers with disabilities in Canada are roughly twice as likely to be in low-quality employment compared to workers without disabilities. The study contributes to our understanding of inequities in the Canadian labour market and can inform public health action to support decent work for all workers — an important social determinant of health.
