3.	Provincial estimates were given only for those provinces in which survey respondents in all Health Regions answered the "Self esteem" module.
4.	Bootstrapping techniques were used to produce the coefficient of variation (CV) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
5.	Data with a coefficient of variation (CV) from 16.6% to 33.3% are identified by an (E) and should be interpreted with caution.
6.	Data with a coefficient of variation (CV) greater than 33.3% were suppressed (F) due to extreme sampling variability.
7.	Health regions are defined by provincial governments as the areas of responsibility for regional health boards (i.e., legislated) or as regions of interest to health care authorities.

12.	In 2002, the British Columbia Ministry of Health revised the health region boundaries, changing from 20 health regions to 16 health service delivery areas (HSDA).
13.	British Columbia's HSDAs are identified with the reference date as part of the health region name; the old health regions are identified with "T" following the code.
14.	Data calculated for British Columbia HSDAs will differ from previously released health region data (where boundaries remain unchanged) due to revised population estimates.
15.	The following symbols are used in Statistics Canada publications: (..) for figures not available and (...) for figures not appropriate or not applicable.
16.	CANSIM table number 01050019.
