| Note: Data users should be aware of certain limitations to the Therapeutic Abortion Survey. There are recognized issues concerning coverage, increased submission of aggregate counts instead of detailed records, and an increased reliance on age estimation. |
| 1. Includes cases of unknown area of residence and abortions performed on Canadian residents in the United States. |
| 2. Due to changes in data collection methods in Ontario for clinic abortions, caution should be taken when comparing data for 1999 and later to data for 1998 and earlier. |
| 3. Data for Nunavut include the complete 1999 calendar year. In previous years, the totals for the Northwest Territories included residents of what became Nunavut. |
