1. | Based on household population aged 15 and over reporting difficulties accessing these services in past 12 months, for self or family member. | ||
2. | "Minor health problem" includes fever, vomiting, major headaches, sprained ankle, minor burns, cuts, skin irritation, unexplained rash and others; non-life threatening health problems or injuries due to a minor accident. | ||
3. | "Family member" refers to an individual living in the same dwelling as respondent, related to respondent, and for whose care respondent is responsible. | ||
4. | Due to differences in the set of questions used and their sequence in the questionnaire, data in this table are not comparable to Health Services Access Survey (HSAS) 2001, CANSIM table 105-3029. | ||
5. | This table excludes non-response ("don't know", "not stated" and "refusal"). | ||
6. | Rates are age-standardized using the direct method and the 1991 Canadian Census population structure. The use of a standard population results in more meaningful comparisons because it adjusts for variations in population age distributions over time and across geographic areas. | ||
7. | When comparing estimates, it is important to use confidence intervals to determine if differences between values are statistically significant. Confidence intervals describe sampling variability and give an indication of the precision of a given estimate. Bootstrapping techniques were used to produce the coefficient of variation (CV) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). | ||
8. | Data with a coefficient of variation (CV) from 16.6% to 33.3% are identified as follows: (E) use with caution. | ||
9. | Data with a coefficient of variation (CV) greater than 33.3% were suppressed due to extreme sampling variability and are identified as follows: (F) too unreliable to be published. | ||
10. | For 2005, the Canada total includes Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. For 2003, the Canada totals do not include Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. | ||
11. | Data for 2003 are not available for Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. | ||
