The MSSS provided epidemiological reports of TB in the Province of
Quebec for 2000-20032 and 2004-2007.6 These reports give incidences of TB in the Province of Quebec for various demographic groups and
regions and were the primary source of data in this study. Health
Canada, through PHAC, releases a yearly report on TB epidemiology in
Canada.8 Reports are available online from 1996 to 2009. These were
used to provide additional information about TB in Canada and the
Province of Quebec that were not covered by the MSSS documents.
