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 "yes, to one problem per visit, yes, to 2 problems per visit or yes, to 3 problems per visit" by the number of respondents who answered "no, I have never experienced that, yes, to one problem per visit, yes, to 2 problems per visit or yes, to 3 problems per visit" to the question: Thinking of the last 12 months, have you been informed or seen a note that suggests limiting the number of problems you can discuss with your family doctor or nurse practitioner?
