Calculations

This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "yes" by the number of respondents who answered "yes or no" to the question: People with different backgrounds may have different experiences when accessing health services or programs. The following questions can help us understand how that may influence the way you are treated by individuals and institutions, and whether that may affect your health. Do you identify with any of the following groups? 2. Persons with a disability or special need

Notes

This indicator has replaced PH_PWD01_1, which was previously available on our Web site, due to changes in our calculation methodology for the primary care survey.
