↵* All variables in the table were included in the regression model. Therefore, except for the variable being examined, all other variables were adjusted for.
↵† Coverage provided by employers, unions, trade associations or student organizations, which usually have group policy numbers by which insured people in the affiliated organization can be identified. The unweighted sample sizes were 19 085 (insured) and 35 056 (total).
↵‡ Government subsidies provided to those registered with specific programs (e.g., Ontario Works, Ontario Disability Support Program, Non-Insured Health Benefits program) or who identify with specific populations (e.g., veterans, refugees, First Nations, Inuit). The unweighted sample sizes were 3203 (insured) and 19 174 (total).
