| 1. Health region. |
| 2. The 95% confidence interval (C.I.) indicates the limits around a sample estimate in which the true population value is expected to fail, 19 out of 20 times. When confidence intervals overlap, the difference is not considered statistically significant. |
| 3. The cancer screening program counsels to have a mammogram every two years (women 50 to 69 years of age) and a Pap test every three years. It should be noted that these data do not distinguish women who undergo these exams for diagnosis purposes from those who undergo them for screening. |
| * Coefficient of variation between 15% and 25%; the estimate should be interpreted with caution. |
