| 1. Given that the label of the question on perception of health status used in the 1987 Santé Québec survey and the 1992-1993 and 1998 Quebec Health and Social Surveys differs from the one used in the Canadian Community Health Survey, cycle 1.1 (2000-2001), cycle 2.1 (2003) and cycle 3.1 (2005), these data are not exactly comparable. In 1987, 1992-1993 and 1998, the person was asked to compare his/her health status to other people the same age, which was not the case in 2000-2001, 2003 and 2005. |
| 2. Health region. |
| 3. Given that the data are from surveys, 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. |
| 4. Population estimated without adjustment for partial non-response for 2000-2001, 2003 and 2005. |
| * Coefficient of variation between 15% and 25%; the estimate should be interpreted with caution. |
| ** Coefficient of variation greater than 25 %; the estimate lacks precision. The data is provided for information only. |
