Abstract
This article assesses determinants of social support among the foreign-born elderly in Canada. We draw cross-sectional data from the second cycle of the National Population Health Survey, conducted by Statistics Canada in 1996-1997, and use ordinary least squares models for our empirical analysis. We focus on three measures of social support: perceived social support, social involvement, and social contact. Generally, we find that poorphysical and/ormental health is negatively associated with ourmeasures of support. Emotional problems, one of the most consistent predictors, erode social support. Also, social involvement declines with mobility problems but increases with self-reported health status, whereas social contact also increases with cognitive function. As with otherstudies, and consistent with relationships witnessed among the native-born population, our results indicate that the married/cohabiting are more likely than the separated/divorced or widowed to perceive social support. Further, we find that those with children experience greater perceived support.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
