3. Refers to "the most serious injury" as identified by respondent, which is serious enough to limit one’s normal activities, and which required medical attention within 48 hours from a health professional. It does not include repetitive strain injury.
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.

15. In Saskatchewan, "service areas" (SA) have been created from groupings of the 33 health districts.
16. In Alberta, health regions are referred to as Health Authorities (HA) or Regional Health Authorities (RHA).
