Pregnant Women in PEI

Question

Where can I find information on how many pregnant women there are in PEI per year?

Answer

In 1995, the collection of the data for this survey was transferred from Statistics Canada to the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI). Once the data was collected, it was transferred to Statistics Canada to be released in The Daily. This process has caused some confusion with the users of the data. Statistics Canada has decided, in consultation with CIHI that the responsibility for disseminating these data should reside with CIHI. I would recommend viewing CIHI’s website for more information.

For Pregnancy and birth related tables, see:
