About

This indicator is the percentage of citizens who reported that their primary care provider always involved them in decisions about their health care in the last 12 months.

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Primary Health Survey and Primary Care Survey

Calculations

This indicator is based on respondents who have a family doctor or a nurse practitioner and who consulted with them in the last 12 months. This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "always" by the number of respondents who answered "never, rarely, sometimes, usually or always" to the question: Thinking of the last 12 months, in general, how often did your family doctor or nurse practitioner involve you in decisions about your health care?
