Background and Objectives

1.1 Background

Use of cannabis is common in Canada. In 2017, Health Canada's Canadian Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs Survey (CTADS) found that 15% of respondents 15 years of age and older reported using cannabis in the past year, with males reporting use more often than females. Canadians 15 to 24 years old were significantly more likely to use cannabis in the past 12 months than those 25 years of age and older. Use is also common in students, with 18% of students in grades 7 to 12 reporting past year use in the 2018-2019 Canadian Student Tobacco, Alcohol and Drugs Survey (CSTADS). International data for cannabis from 2017 shows the United States had a lifetime prevalence rate of 45.2% (Footnote 1), while Canada had a similar prevalence rate of 46.6% (Footnote 2). Prevalence rates for past year cannabis use were highest in North America (13.8%) when compared to other regions (Oceania (10.9%); Africa (6.4%); Europe (5.4%); Asia (1.8%)) around the world (Footnote 3).

In the 2015 Speech from the Throne, the Government of Canada committed to legalizing, regulating, and restricting access to marijuana. In 2016, the Government's Task Force on Marijuana Legalization and Regulation issued a discussion paper entitled "Toward the legalization, regulation and restriction of access to marijuana" that initiated wider consultations and dialogue regarding its intention in this area. In 2017, Bill C-45, an Act respecting cannabis and to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, the Criminal Code and other Acts, was introduced in the House of Commons. Implementation of the new Cannabis Act occurred in October 2018, creating a regulated legal market for non-medical cannabis for adults in Canada.

The legalization and regulation of cannabis in Canada has also prompted a policy and scientific requirement to collect new comprehensive data on the subject of cannabis use and non-use, including indicators in the areas of health, public safety, and markets. New research on cannabis use is helping the government better evaluate the possible impacts associated with its legalization, regulation, and restriction. In May and June 2016, Health Canada conducted the Baseline Survey on Awareness, Knowledge and Behaviour Associated with Recreational Use of Marijuana (administered by Ekos Research Associates). This study examined knowledge, perceived acceptability and health risks, patterns of recreational use, and information-seeking behaviours. This study found that 58% of respondents reported cannabis use in their lifetime and 22% reported use in the past 12 months. Among those who did not report use in the past 12 months, 85% felt they were unlikely to use cannabis once it becomes legal.

The Canadian Cannabis Survey was first conducted in 2017. It examined, in more depth, patterns of use, such as the quantities of cannabis consumed and the use of cannabis for medical purposes; the cannabis market, such as sources of cannabis and pricing; and issues of public safety, such as impaired driving. The 2018 Canadian Cannabis Survey aimed to gather additional data, such as changes to willingness to publicly report cannabis use since legalization; exposure to education campaigns, public health or safety messages; respondents' usual source of cannabis products since the Cannabis Act came into effect; and relative levels of THC and CBD typically used. In 2019, Health Canada conducted the third cycle of the Canadian Cannabis Survey (CCS). It was in the field from April 4, 2019 to June 17, 2019 and collected data from approximately 12,000 people 16 years of age and older. Of the responses that were received, 3,968 responses were from people who indicated that they had used cannabis in the past 12 months for either non-medical or medical purposes. In 2020, as in previous cycles, all respondents were asked questions regarding cannabis use and non-use in Canada; patterns of use (e.g., age of initiation, frequency of use, quantities and products used); public concerns related to cannabis (including problematic use and drug-impaired driving); perception of risk and normalization; and use of cannabis for medical purposes and reasons for this use. In addition, the 2020 Canadian Cannabis Survey collected additional information on cultivation of cannabis plants in/around the home, impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on cannabis use and relative levels of THC and CBD in each of the cannabis products used.

1.2 Objectives of the survey

The 2020 Canadian Cannabis Survey aimed to gather additional information to track changes in data collected from the 2017, 2018 and 2019 surveys, more specifically patterns of use, such as the quantities used; sources and pricing; and issues of public safety, such as impaired driving.

In conducting this research, Health Canada's objective was to collect information on the following:

• Cannabis use and non-use in Canada;
• Patterns of use (e.g. age of initiation, frequency of use, quantities, and products used);
• Public concerns related to cannabis, including problematic use and drug-impaired driving;
• Perception of risk and normalization;
• Use of cannabis for medical purposes and the reasons for this use.

1.3 Total expenditure

The total cost of this research was $249,730.00 including HST.

2.0 Sampling

2.1 The general approach

The approach used was a two-step recruitment process where respondents were first recruited by telephone (both landline and mobile) using a short battery of screener questions approved by Health Canada, and consistent with the previous cycles. Respondents who completed the screener questions and qualified for the survey were then sent a link to the online survey, either by email or SMS, depending on their preference. Respondents were recruited from lists of random telephone numbers (RDD) that Advanis verified were in service. The distribution of phone numbers was approximately 95 percent mobile phones and 5 percent landline numbers.

The rationale for using a higher volume of cell phone than landline numbers came from the requirement of oversampling youth aged 16 to 24 years old. From previous experience, we know that this group is very hard to reach by conventional landline for two major reasons; first, they use their parents' landline and we have difficulty reaching them; second, if they have left their parents' house, they most likely use a cell phone rather than a landline.

In total, we called 131,660 phone numbers, and 21,355 people agreed to participate in the survey. Of these calls, 12 percent were conducted in French and 88 percent were conducted in English. The response rate calculation is presented in Appendix A. It should be noted that data collection for 2020 was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic at a time when most of the country was shut down. Although refusals were greater than in 2019, the willingness to answer the phone was higher, and as such we contacted approximately 100,000 less phone numbers in 2020 compared to 2019, achieving a response rate of 19.0%.

During the computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI) recruit, Advanis requested permission to send the survey link to respondents' mobile phones via a Short Message Service (SMS). The advantage of SMS survey invitations are that, unlike email invitations, they avoid issues with incorrect email addresses and spam filtering. If the recruited respondent did not have a smartphone, or preferred email, survey links were sent via email. Of the respondents who completed the CATI screener, 92 percent were recruited via SMS, and 8 percent were recruited by email. Of those recruited to the online survey by SMS, 50.2% completed the online survey. Among those sent an email invitation, the completion rate of the online survey was 62.7% percent.

To increase the response rate, inbound calling was allowed and directed to interviewers trained on the survey. If the potential respondent called from the phone that was initially dialled by someone in the call centre, the calling record was automatically displayed to an interviewer.

Invite reminders were sent 3 days and 6 days after the initial invitation. A third SMS/email reminder was sent to those flagged as being under 25 years of age an additional 3 days later, in an attempt to boost response rates. Once SMS/email reminders had been sent, Advanis also conducted telephone reminders at least 3 days after the last reminder to confirm the invite had been received, and to correct email addresses if necessary. During these calls (only made once), voicemail messages were left reminding the respondents that the survey was still open, and a final invitation was triggered automatically.

The average survey length for those who used cannabis in the past 12 months was 25 minutes, and it was 12 minutes on average for those who did not use cannabis in the past 12 months. We need to keep in mind that, during an online survey, the time elapsed doesn't necessarily align perfectly with survey duration since respondents may not always complete the survey all at once. As for the duration of the recruitment interviews, the average length was just over 2 minutes.

2.2 The pretest and field dates

The pretest was conducted from April 30^th, 2020 to May 1 ^st, 2020 in both English and French. During this pretest, we recruited 164 people by phone, 64 in English and 100 in French. This translated into 27 completed online surveys, 16 English and 11 French. The validation of the data was completed the morning of May 4^th. This validation included respondents who had used cannabis in the past 12 months, as well as those who had not, to ensure that all questions were tested. In reviewing the pretest data, it was recalled that, in the 2019 cycle, Health Canada had requested that questions without an opt-out option be voluntary for respondents to answer. This change was implemented again prior to the full launch for consistency. The data collection period was from April 30^th to June 22^nd, 2020.

2.3 Quality control

2.3.1 - Quality Control in Survey Programming

Advanis utilizes technology to maximize quality control in survey programming. Having developed a proprietary survey engine tool, Advanis professionals are able to design and program a survey in a browser-based environment, eliminating the need to involve a programmer who is less familiar with the survey subject matter. Below are the steps followed to ensure the quality of the survey:

• The survey was thoroughly pretested by Advanis' project team members, as well as by non-team members (non-team members provide "fresh eyes").
• The online survey was tested by representatives at Health Canada (and their designated testers). This allowed Health Canada to ensure skip patterns and survey questions were correctly programmed.

2.3.2 - CATI Methodology and Quality Control

The CATI recruit script was programmed on Advanis' proprietary CATI platform with no unforeseen challenges. Advanis was able to leverage its experience with the survey programming and the reminder process to achieve high quality standards.

Advanis implemented the following to ensure the highest quality data collection:

• Trained the interviewers to best understand the study's objectives and to ensure that they were able to pronounce and understand the survey wording;
• Detailed call records were kept by the automated CATI system, and were supplemented by output files to SPSS for productivity analysis (i.e., not subject to human error);
• Screening scripts contained a description of the importance of the research and the importance of respondent participation, serving as a motivator for respondents;
• The recruit scripts were pretested for best possible flow;
• Briefing was done on an ongoing basis to ensure that all interviewers are up to date on current information regarding the project;
• Our average interviewer employment tenure is very high compared to industry standards, resulting in a team of interviewers who are more experienced and knowledgeable regarding the target audience;
• Advanis' Quality Assurance team listened to the actual recordings of ten percent of completed surveys, and compared the responses to those entered by the interviewer, to ensure that responses were properly recorded. This is in addition to the live monitoring done by field supervisors.
• Team Supervisors conduct regular, more formal evaluations with each interviewer, in addition to nightly monitoring of each interviewer on their team.

To ensure high interview quality, our interviewers are trained to use various interviewing techniques. As well as maintaining a professional attitude, our interviewers must also be convincing, read word-for-word, take notes, probe deeper on semi-open and open questions, systematically confirm the information provided and listen to the respondent.

2.3.3 - Web Methodology and Quality Control

All Advanis Web surveys are hosted internally by Advanis, and we employ a rigorous and stringent set of data collection control mechanisms to ensure the highest quality for the data collected, including:

• Respondents have a unique access code to ensure that only that participant can complete the online survey.
• Extensive internal logic checks are programmed directly into the survey to ensure logical responses.
• Web surveys are implemented using Advanis' proprietary software (which is designed to handle complicated survey formats).
• Advanis administered a detailed internal test and an external pretest to ensure that the survey instrument was working as planned.
• We tested the questionnaire in multiple browsers and provided Health Canada with a link so they could do internal testing.

2.3.4 - Quality Control in Data Handling and Reporting

For all of the data collected, Advanis develops rules to check the validity of the data. These rules include items such as:

• Time taken to complete the survey (those who completed the survey too quickly are removed)
• Data consistency check (respondents who answered multiple questions in inconsistent ways are removed)
• Straight-lining tables of responses (checks against respondents who provide the same response to every table)
• And, rigorous checks are completed to ensure the data is accurate and error-free according to the questionnaire logic (skip patterns).

Advanis staff have used the SPSS Statistics Software for over 20 years and are very proficient users of the software. All data cleaning performed on projects are outlined in syntax files with intermediate data files saved throughout the process. This ensures that the original raw data file is never overwritten, and that if an error is discovered in our code, we can quickly and easily rerun the syntax to produce a new data file. Individuals developing code incorporate internal checks in their code (e.g., crosstabs) to ensure the syntax had the desired effect. In addition, all syntax is reviewed by another team member or technical specialist for accuracy.

2.4 Sampling plan and data collection

The target audience for this project was Canadians who are 16 years and older. This survey included both those who had used cannabis and those who had not. A "person that uses cannabis" is someone who has used cannabis in the last 12 months. The expected incidence of cannabis use in the past 12 months in the general population is 15%, according to Health Canada data.

Key sub-population variables that required quotas were:

• Age (16-19, 20-24 and 25 years and older);
• Region; and
• Sex.

The sample consisted of a core sample of 10,000 Canadians aged 16 and older (those who use cannabis and those who do not). In the end, we gathered 10,930 responses (9,256 in English and 1,674 in French) in order to reach all of our quotas. Table 1 presents the results for the entire data collection versus the quota for the base sample.

3.0 Weighting

3.1 The weighting approach

Overall, 10,930 web interviews were conducted during data collection. The weighting of the final file was based on three variables: region, age, and sex at birth. For the 108 people who were missing a response for both sex at birth and gender, no weights were attributed. This is consistent with what was done in 2019. The cases where a weight could not be attributed were excluded from national estimates but remain in the data set. The population sizes are based on the latest Statistics Canada census results published in the 2016 Census. Since the value for the 16 to 19 age category was not available (only 15 to 19 is provided), we reduced the 15 to 19 year category by 1/5 of the size to reflect the best estimate of the number of 16 to 19 year olds. See section 4.2 for guidelines on the limitation of analysis with the weights.

3.2 The design effect calculation

Introducing weighting generates a design effect that can be attributed to weight variation. This effect increases the sampling error in comparison to the random sampling without weighting.

The following table presents the design effect (the effect of the sampling plan on the statistical power of the sample) for each region separately as well as for the entire sample. Also, this table shows the size of an "efficient" sample, which corresponds to the size of the random sample which would have the same precision degree. For the total sample, the variation of the sampling fractions comes from the fact that a certain number of interviews were completed in each region regardless of their size.

3.3 Design effect and efficient size of the sample

4.0 Data Cleaning and Guidelines for Analysis and Release

4.1 Data cleaning and coding

After the data collection was completed, data cleaning was performed to ensure high quality results. As was done in the 2019 survey, questions were made voluntary (not required) instead of adding an opt-out option. This was to allow respondents to advance past any questions they did not wish to answer (with the exception of age, which was required). During data cleaning, respondents who refused to provide an answer were recoded to "Prefer not to answer".

The next step was to perform any necessary data coding. A detailed scale was used to describe quantities across the survey. Once data collection was completed, these scales were transformed into metric questions for ease of analysis. The metric question type simplifies the analysis by easily providing measures of mean, median, etc. For this recoding of scales into a metric value, the recoding used the same logic as in the 2019 Canadian Cannabis Survey, for consistency and comparability of results. The scale used was the same as in the previous phase of the project. The recode scale used for this was provided by Health Canada.

A review of open-ended responses was also performed as part of the data cleaning. Any "other" responses were recoded into existing categories when appropriate. A coding guide was created for answers that had sufficient numbers of mentions to be added in as a new response level. Specific verbatim themes that did not have a sufficient number of mentions were left in the "other" category. Based on this review, levels were added for survey questions based on the "other, please specify" responses. In Q19b, where respondents were asked about the changes in cannabis use due to COVID-19, additional levels were added after reviewing the data. In Q26a and the similar medical section question M12, a level of "orally/sublingually" was added based on a high instance of verbatim responses. For M5, similar to previous cycles, a level of "pain due to injury, illness or migraines" was added to decrease the proportion of the "other" response category.

4.2 Guidelines for the analysis and the use of weights

When doing an analysis, it is important to align the analysis plan with the weighting scheme. The weights adjust the data to better reflect the population based on parameters that have been chosen to maximize the level of detail without creating distortions due to extreme weights (an extreme weight will occur when a population group is represented by a proportionally smaller subset of respondents compared to other population groups, thus introducing an important risk of bias due to their specific profile).

For this survey, the basic sociodemographic information that should be used in analysis of results are:

• Provinces and territories
• Age: 16 to 19, 20 to 24, 25 to 29, 30 to 34, 35 to 39, 40 to 44, 45 to 49, 50 to 54, 55 to 59, and 60+ or any unaltered grouping of theses ranges (i.e., 16 to 24 or 35 to 54)
• Sex: male or female

Using age groupings other than the ones described above for these sociodemographic categories could potentially produce distorted data. As these results would be inaccurate based on how the weights were calculated, we strongly advise not to report any results that are not aligned with these specified categories.

In the provided data file, the variable to be used to weight the data is called "weight". In this case, it was decided to project to the total population, around 28 million Canadian residents (per the 2016 Statistics Canada Census).

Any results with an unweighted cell size of less than 30 respondents should not be reported on, due to statistical robustness. The reason for suppressing results with small cell sizes is due to the increased coefficient of variation and, hence, there are larger confidence intervals around results with smaller bases.

For all estimates based on cell sizes of 30 or more, the following guidelines for data suppression related to coefficients of variation (CV) should be used when reporting results:
