1. Population aged 15 and over who reported receiving community-based health care in the past 12 months, excluding care received through a hospital or doctor's office.
2. Examples of community-based health care include home nursing care, home-based counselling or therapy, personal care and community walk-in clinics.
3. Population who rate the quality of community-based health care services received as excellent or good, based on the response to the following question: "Overall how would you rate the quality of the community-based care you received? Would you say it was excellent, good, fair or poor?"
4. Population who report being very or somewhat satisfied with health care services received, based on the response to the following question: "Overall, how satisfied were you with the way community-based care was provided? Were you very satisfied, somewhat satisfied, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, somewhat dissatisfied or very dissatisfied?"
5. Canada and provincial estimates are based on sub-sample weights.
6. The total does not correspond to the sum of the categories published in this table.
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.
