About

This indicator is the percentage of citizens receiving home care services [with the cost being entirely or partially covered by the government] who reported that physiotherapy, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy, speech therapy, nutrition counselling or social work was a service they received.

Source

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

Calculations

This indicator is based on respondents who have the cost of home care services being entirely or partially covered by the government . 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: What type of services have you received: 2) Other health care services such as physiotherapy, occupational, respiratory or speech therapy, nutrition counselling or social work

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.
