Note. Percentages may not add to 100 due to rounding. Education level derived from administrative data is not comparable to NIIDRBS estimates because of inconsistency in method of capture (i.e., standardized testing at admission versus self-report at time of survey). Since NIIDRBS security level is based on institutional security level, it is unknown for the majority of women inmates who reside in multi-level security institutions. The chi-square test was not calculable for region because of lack of stratum variance. NIIDRBS = 2007 National Inmate Infectious Diseases & Risk-Behaviours Survey; CSC = Correctional Service Canada; n = sample size; N = estimated population size.
