Percentage totals reported according to sexual orientation do not match those reported for other demographic groups because questions about sexual orientation are only asked to respondents aged 18 or older. Other questions are asked to respondents aged 15 or older. Return to note 1 referrer Note: Respondents reporting experiences of childhood physical abuse may also have reported childhood sexual abuse, and vice-versa. Responses of 'don't know' and 'refuse' are not shown but are included in percent calculations. For this reason, percent totals may not add to 100%. Source: Statistics Canada, General Social Survey.
