Percentage of First Nations people living off reserve, Métis and Inuit aged 15 and older who reported unfair treatment, racism, or discrimination from any health care professional in the 12 months prior to the survey, by gender, Canada, 2024

Given that the non-binary population is small, data aggregation to a two-category gender variable is sometimes necessary to protect the confidentiality of responses provided. In these cases, individuals in the category "non-binary persons" are distributed into the other two gender categories and are denoted by the "+" symbol. Single and multiple responses to the Indigenous identity question are used when reporting data for the three Indigenous groups. The Survey Series on First Nations People, Métis and Inuit is based on a probability panel consisting of individuals who agreed to participate in further studies when they responded to the 2022 Indigenous Peoples Survey. As a result of this methodology, it has a low cumulative response rate which increases the risk of bias. All estimates in this chart should therefore be used with caution.
