These are findings of survey funded by Organon Canada and conducted by Ipsos from
The sample for this study was randomly drawn from Ipsos' online panel, partner online panel sources, and "river" sampling and does not rely on a population frame in the traditional sense. Ipsos uses fixed sample targets, unique to each study, in drawing a sample. After a sample has been obtained from the Ipsos panel, Ipsos calibrates respondent characteristics to be representative of the Population using standard procedures such as raking-ratio adjustments. The source of these population targets is Canadian Census data. The sample drawn for this study reflects fixed sample targets on demographics. Posthoc weights were made to the population characteristics on age range, region, and education.
The margin of error for 1,500 completed interviews is +/- 2.7 per cent percentage points. Statistically significant differences at the 95 per cent confidence level are noted by highlighting larger proportion. Testing was applied to the two age groups, the four regions, and select attributes. Alpha notations are added to the significant differences to indicate the regions / attributes with a significantly lower score than the one highlighted.
