About
This indicator is the percentage of citizens with a preference for English or French who reported that they had always received services in their preferred official language during their interactions with their primary care provider 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 preference between English or French when receiving health services and who have a family doctor or a nurse practitioner and 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, sometimes, usually or always" to the question: During your interaction(s) with your family doctor or nurse practitioner, how often did you receive the services in the language you preferred?
Notes
This indicator has replaced PC_LDCCH_1, which was previously available on our Website, due to changes in our calculation methodology for the primary care survey.
