About

This indicator is the percentage of citizens who reported that they have a personal family doctor.

Source

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

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: Do you have a personal family doctor? A personal family doctor manages your medical file. This does not include specialists or doctors you would see at an after-hours clinic or a walk-in clinic. This does not include a temporary doctor who you may have consulted while waiting for a permanent family doctor, for example when using NB Health Link

Notes

The 2020 edition of the Primary Health Survey (PHS) was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic. While the pandemic did not influence the survey’s response rate, NBHC had to assess the impact of surveying during the pandemic. Accordingly, advanced statistical analyses were performed to allow for comparison between the results obtained in 2020 and those obtained in previous PHS cycles. Despite these analyses, users are advised to use the PHS 2020 data with caution, especially when creating estimates for small sub-populations or when comparing it to other PHS editions.
