This article documents the extent of proxy reporting in Statistics Canada's National Population Health Survey (NPHS) and explores associations between reporting status and the prevalence and incidence of selected health problems.  Data are from the household cross-sectional (1994/95, 1996/97 and 1998/99) and longitudinal (1994/95 to 2000/01) components of the NPHS. Supplemental data are from the 2000/01 Canadian Community Health Survey.
