1. Health regions are defined by the provincial ministries of health. These are legislated administrative areas in all provinces. The health regions presented in this table are based on boundaries and names in effect as of June 2005. For complete Canadian coverage, each of the northern territories also represents a health region.
2. A "peer group" is a grouping of health regions that have similar social and economic characteristics. The nine peer groups are identified by the letters A through I, which are appended to the health region 4-digit code.
3. In Nova Scotia, zones are aggregations of the nine district health authorities.
4. No data available for "Région du Nunavik" and "Région des Terres-Cries-de-la-Baie-James".
5. In Ontario, Public Health Units (PHU) administer health promotion and disease prevention programs. Local Health Integration Networks (LHIN) are responsible for planning, funding and administering health care programs and services across the province. Data are provided for both levels of geography. Because health units were the principal areas of interest at the time the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) Cycle 3.1 sample was designed, the ability of the survey to provide data by LHIN is limited. As a result, only rates estimates (percents) are available for LHINs in Cycle 3.1.
6. In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, health regions are referred to as Health Authorities (HA) or Regional Health Authorities (RHA).
7. To avoid data suppression, northern regions in Manitoba have been grouped with neighbouring regions, as follows: Churchill Regional Health Authority (4690) is combined with Burntwood Regional Health Authority (4680) and referred to as Burntwood/Churchill (4685).
8. To avoid data suppression, northern regions in Saskatchewan have been grouped with neighbouring regions, as follows: Athabasca Health Authority (4713) is combined with Mamawetan Churchill River Regional Health Authority (4711) and Keewatin Yatthé Regional Health Authority (4712) and referred to as Mamawetan/Keewatin/Athabasca (4714).
9. Population aged 12 and over who reported being either a current smoker (daily or occasional) or a non-smoker (former or never smoked). "Type of smoker" was previously referred to as "Smoking status".
10. Current smokers are those who smoke on either a daily or an occasional basis.
11. Daily smokers refers to those who reported smoking cigarettes every day.
12. Occasional smokers refers to those who reported smoking cigarettes occasionally. This includes former daily smokers who now smoke occasionally.
13. Former smokers are those who previously smoked either daily or occasionally and are now non-smokers.
14. 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.
15. Bootstrapping techniques were used to produce the coefficient of variation (CV) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
16. Data with a coefficient of variation (CV) from 16.6% to 33.3% are identified as follows: (E) use with caution.
17. 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.
