1. Population aged 12 and over who sustained injuries in the past 12 months. Repetitive strain injuries are not included.
2. Refers to injuries which are serious enough to limit normal activities. For those with more than one injury in the past 12 months, refers to "the most serious injury", as identified by the respondent.
3. Due to differences in questionnaire wording, data are not comparable to National Population Health Survey (NPHS), Household CANSIM table 104-0018 or National Population Health Survey (NPHS), North CANSIM table 104-5018.
4. 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.
5. Bootstrapping techniques were used to produce the coefficient of variation (CV) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
6. Data with a coefficient of variation (CV) from 16.6% to 33.3% are identified as follows: (E) use with caution.
7. 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.
