About

This indicator is the percentage of citizens who prefer to receive health care services in English.

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 "English" by the number of respondents who answered "English, French or no preference" to the question: Under the Official Languages Act, you have the right to be served in either English or French. Of these two languages, which is your preference?

Notes

Due to changes in content and methodology, this indicator has been discontinued. 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.
