Calculations

This indicator is based on respondents who consulted a health professional in the last 12 months about their mental or emotional health, or their use of alcohol or drugs. This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "somewhat satisfied or very satisfied" by the number of respondents who answered "very dissatisfied, somewhat dissatisfied, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, somewhat satisfied or very satisfied" to the question: Thinking of the most recent consultation, what was your level of satisfaction with the services you received from this health professional?
