Health Canada, Population and Public Health Branch. The Economic Burden of Illness in Canada, 1998(EBIC 1998) is the third version of the report of the same name to be published by Health Canada. This report was first published in 1991(Economic Burden of Illness in Canada, 1986) and again in 1997(Economic Burden of Illness in Canada, 1993). The overwhelming response to these original reports and a continued request for more detailed cost-of-illness information indicated the need for an up-to-date revision that would provide even more detail than the first two reports. 1, record 5, English, - Economic%20Burden%20of%20Illness%20in%20Canada%2C%201998
