11 Data Limitations: 1. Questions are only asked of adult residents aged The telephone survey is only conducted in English. 3. Results are based on self-reported behaviours. 4. (*) indicates that results are based on small sample size; thus, estimates have high variability. 5. (**) indicates the data is not released due to small sample size. Data Notes: 1. Source: Rapid Risk Factor Surveillance System (RRFSS), Jan - Dec 2012, Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge (HKPR) District Health Unit and Institute for Social Research (ISR), York University. 2. Missing responses are not included in the analysis. 3. Do not know and Refused responses are analyzed according to RRFSS Analysis Guidelines. 4. The 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) are the range of variability for a population estimate. There is a 95% probability that the true estimate is within that range. 5. Release criteria of the data are according to RRFSS Analysis Guidelines. 6. ( ) If the 95% confidence intervals of estimates do not overlap, the estimates are significantly different (i.e., if the lower confidence interval of estimate A is > the upper confidence interval of estimate B, the estimates are statistically significant). However, if confidence intervals do overlap, it is not necessarily true that estimates are not different. Page 11 of 11
